1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp ground black pepper
1 oz of chopped ham or turkey bacon (about 3 TBSP)
2 large eggs,

Add 1 tsp olive oil to cast iron skillet, add onion, bell pepper, and salt and pepper. Cook about 5 minutes. Stir in the ham and cook until heated through. Transfer the mixture to a bowl and wipe out the skillet.
Preheat broiler to low. Lightly beat the eggs together. Heat the remaining 1 Tbsp olive oil, swirl in pan to insure it is fully coated up to 1/2 inch on the sides as well.
