Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and baking powder.
Cut the butter into small cubes and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work it into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and milk together until well combined.
Gradually pour the egg and milk mixture into the flour mixture, stirring gently to form a thick batter.
Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese, cubed ham, green onions, Italian seasoning, and black pepper. Mix until evenly distributed.
Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the dish from the oven and allow the bars to cool for 10 minutes before slicing into squares or rectangles for serving.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
