Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 2 slices ham
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 pinch black pepper
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the butter, letting it melt and coat the bottom of the pan.
Place the ham slices in the skillet and cook each side for 2-3 minutes, or until lightly browned and heated through. Once cooked, remove the ham slices and set them aside on a plate.
Crack the eggs into the skillet and reduce the heat to low. Cook the eggs for about 4 minutes, or until the whites are set, but the yolks are still runny. Do not flip the eggs.
Sprinkle a pinch of salt and black pepper over the eggs to season.
Transfer the cooked eggs to the plate with the ham, using a spatula to carefully lift them.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
Serve immediately and enjoy your classic ham and eggs with toast or a side of fruit.
