1 bag (15-ounces) frozen sweet potato fries, thawed
1/4 cup melted unsalted butter
1 1/2 cups shredded Havarti or Monterey Jack cheese
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and diced
2 cups shredded Swiss cheese
2 cups chopped cooked ham
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh chives

In medium bowl, combine eggs, half-and-half, salt, paprika, pepper and cayenne. Pour evenly over cheese mixture and cover with aluminum foil.
