Begin by chopping the vegetarian ham, onion, and bell pepper into small, bite-sized pieces.
In a medium bowl, crack the eggs and add the milk. Season with salt and black pepper, then whisk until well combined and slightly frothy.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add butter. Once melted, add the chopped onion and bell pepper. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until they become soft and translucent.
Add the vegetarian ham to the skillet and cook for another 1-2 minutes until heated through.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Let it sit undisturbed for about 30 seconds.
Using a spatula, gently stir the eggs, folding them over themselves from the edges toward the center. Continue cooking and stirring at intervals until the eggs are softly set but still slightly runny.
Remove from heat when the eggs are almost fully cooked, as they will continue to cook off the heat.
Sprinkle finely chopped chives over the scramble for freshness and serve immediately.
