Preparation
In a mixing bowl, beat eggs with heavy cream, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper until smooth and slightly frothy. Set aside.
Heat butter or tallow in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add onion and peppers, sauté 4–5 minutes until softened. Stir in ham and cook 2–3 minutes more.
Pour egg mixture evenly over the ham and veggies. Cook undisturbed 2–3 minutes until edges begin to set.
Sprinkle shredded cheddar evenly over the top.
Transfer skillet to a 375°F oven and bake 10–12 minutes, until eggs are set and cheese is melted and golden.
Slice into wedges, garnish with parsley or chives, and serve hot.
