Add the bell peppers; cook until the peppers are soft and the shallots are golden, 5 to 6 more minutes.
5
Add the tomatoes, ham, bread, parsley and 1/4 cup water and cook until most of the liquid is absorbed, about 3 minutes.
6
Season with salt and black pepper.
7
Remove from the heat.
8
Make 8 evenly spaced indentations in the bread mixture with the bottom of a ladle or small measuring cup.
9
Crack an egg into each indentation.

Slowly pour the half-and-half mixture over the eggs.

Bake, rotating the skillet a few times, until the whites are set, about 15 minutes.

Top with parsley.
