Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Eggs
- 2 pieces Ham slices
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
Gather all the ingredients and necessary equipment like a non-stick skillet and a spatula.
Place the non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter.
Once the butter is melted and slightly foaming, add the slices of ham to the skillet.
Cook the ham slices for about 2 minutes on each side, or until they are slightly crispy and golden brown. Remove the ham from the skillet and set aside.
Crack the eggs into a small bowl then gently slide them into the skillet, ensuring they don’t break.
Lower the heat to medium-low and season the eggs with salt and black pepper.
Cook for 2-3 minutes until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny. For firmer yolks, cover the skillet with a lid and cook for an additional minute.
Once cooked to your liking, carefully remove the eggs from the skillet.
Arrange the ham slices on a plate and place the eggs on top of or beside the ham.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your classic ham and egg breakfast!
