Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large Egg
- 1 thin slice Ham slice
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Parsley (optional, for garnish)
- 1 slice Bread (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Once the skillet is warm, add the butter and let it melt completely, swirling to coat the pan evenly.
Place the slice of ham in the skillet and cook for 30-60 seconds on each side until it begins to brown slightly. Remove the ham from the skillet and set aside.
Crack the egg into the skillet carefully, being cautious not to break the yolk.
Sprinkle the egg with salt and black pepper to taste. Cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until the egg white sets while the yolk remains runny (adjust cooking time if you prefer a firmer yolk).
While the egg is cooking, lightly toast the bread if using, and place the cooked ham slice on top of the toast or directly on the serving plate.
Once the egg is cooked to your preference, gently remove it from the skillet with a spatula and place it on top of the ham.
Garnish with chopped parsley if desired and serve immediately. Enjoy your delicious fried egg with ham!
