Chop the lean ham into small, bite-sized pieces.
Dice the red and green bell peppers, and halve the cherry tomatoes.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the egg whites and low-fat milk until well combined. Add salt and black pepper to taste.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly coat with olive oil spray.
Add the chopped ham to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes, or until lightly browned.
Add the diced bell peppers to the skillet and continue to sauté for another 2 minutes until they begin to soften.
Stir in the halved cherry tomatoes and spinach, cooking just until the spinach wilts, about 1 minute.
Pour the egg mixture over the sautéed ham and vegetables in the skillet. Allow the eggs to set slightly at the bottom.
Using a spatula, gently stir the mixture and scramble until the eggs are softly cooked and still slightly runny.
Transfer the scrambled eggs to serving plates and enjoy while hot.
