Step 1

In a big bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise and half-and-half until smooth. Then add the eggs, dill, and garlic powder, giving everything a good mix. Set that aside for a moment.

Step 2

Heat up the bacon drippings in a large skillet over medium heat. Toss in the red bell pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until it starts to soften—about 2 minutes. Next, add the ham and onion, and keep cooking, stirring now and then, until the onion becomes soft and translucent, which should take around 5 minutes.

Step 3

Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and gently stir as it cooks, scraping the bottom and sides, until the eggs are just set, about 5 minutes. Serve warm and enjoy!
