Crack the eggs into a medium mixing bowl. Add the salt and black pepper, then whisk until combined and slightly frothy.
Dice the ham, green bell pepper, and onion into small, uniform pieces.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Allow it to melt and coat the surface evenly.
Add the diced ham, bell pepper, and onion to the skillet. Sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened and the ham is lightly browned.
Lower the heat to medium-low and pour the whisked eggs into the skillet. Stir gently to combine the eggs with the sautéed ingredients.
Cook the eggs for 3-4 minutes, gently folding the mixture occasionally, until they are fully set but still soft.
Lightly toast the slices of bread using a toaster or under a broiler until golden brown.
Place the cooked egg mixture onto one slice of toasted bread. Top with the second slice to form a sandwich.
Slice the sandwich in half, if desired, and serve immediately while warm.
