Begin by preparing the ingredients. Thinly slice the red onion and halve the cherry tomatoes. Dice the ham into bite-sized pieces.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Once hot, add the sliced onions and sauté for about 2 minutes until they begin to soften.
Add the ham to the skillet and cook for another 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the ham begins to brown slightly.
Stir in the cherry tomatoes and cook for an additional 2 minutes until they begin to soften.
While the tomatoes are cooking, crack the eggs into a bowl and beat them until the yolks and whites are fully combined.
Reduce the heat to low. Push the ham, onion, and tomato mixture to one side of the skillet, then pour the beaten eggs into the empty side.
Allow the eggs to set slightly, then gently stir them to scramble, mixing them with the ham and vegetables as they cook. Continue cooking until the eggs are fully cooked, about 3 minutes.
Season with salt and black pepper, adjusting the taste to your preference.
Transfer the scrambled eggs with ham and vegetables onto plates and garnish with chopped chives before serving.
