Melt the butter in a heavy skillet and cook onions until tender. In a large bowl, mix cooked onions, potatoes, ham, chiles, and cheese together, and spread in a 9x13 buttered dish. Beat together eggs, cream and pepper and pour over potato mixture. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the middle comes out clean. Serve with sliced tomatoes.
