Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Ham slices
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Chopped chives (optional)
- 2 slices Toast (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat and allow it to warm up for about 1 minute.
Add the butter to the skillet and let it melt, swirling to coat the entire surface of the pan.
Lay the ham slices flat in the skillet, making sure they don't overlap. Cook for about 2 minutes on each side until they are lightly browned and slightly crisp around the edges. Push the ham aside to make room for the eggs.
Gently crack the eggs into the skillet, being careful not to break the yolks. Position them near the ham but not directly on top.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and season the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper. Let them cook undisturbed for about 3-4 minutes, or until the whites are fully set and the yolks are still slightly runny. If you'd like firmer yolks, cover the skillet with a lid for the final minute of cooking.
Once done, carefully transfer the ham and eggs to a serving plate using a spatula.
Optionally, garnish the eggs with chopped chives for a fresh touch, and serve alongside toast or your favorite breakfast sides.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Ham and Eggs Hemendex!
