Notes
Instead of Old Bay seasoning, you can use Cajun seasoning, Fajita seasoning, or Chili powder. Instead of ham, you can crumble fried bacon on top of the dish. Instead of chives, you can use thinly sliced scallions. You can add any veggies that you like to this dish. Pan-fried mushrooms and bell peppers would be especially good.
