Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices Ham
- 4 large Eggs
- 1 cup (grated) Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in the skillet, ensuring even coverage.
Add the ham slices into the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes per side until warmed through and slightly golden. Remove the ham from the skillet and set aside.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter to the pan.
Crack the eggs directly into the skillet, spacing them out evenly. Cook them sunny-side up, or flip for over-easy if preferred.
Sprinkle salt and black pepper evenly over the eggs as they cook.
When the eggs are almost done, sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the top of the eggs. Let it melt slightly for an extra layer of flavor.
Place the cooked ham slices onto serving plates, then carefully transfer the eggs on top of the ham.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired. Serve immediately while warm.
