STEP 1.Halve 2 peppers lengthwise; remove and discard seeds. Place the peppers cut-side up in an 8-inch-square microwave-safe dish. Microwave on High until just tender, about 3 minutes. Pat dry and sprinkle with salt.
STEP 2.Whisk eggs and half-and-half in a medium bowl.
STEP 3.Meanwhile, heat oil in a small skillet over medium-high heat. Add chopped bell pepper and onion. Cook, stirring, until softened and beginning to brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Divide the pepper and onion mixture among the pepper halves. Divide ham among the pepper halves. Fill each pepper with the egg mixture until just filled. (Depending on the size of your peppers, you may have some egg mixture left over.) Top each pepper half with 1 tablespoon cheese. Bake until the filling is set, 30 to 40 minutes. Sprinkle with chives and serve.
