Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
- 4 slices Low sodium ham
- 4 pieces Large eggs
- 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Chives
- 4 slices Whole grain bread
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
Instructions
Start by heating a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter.
Add the slices of low sodium ham to the skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they are warm and slightly browned. Remove from the pan and set aside.
In the same skillet, crack 4 large eggs. It's fine to let them be sunny side up or you can make them over-easy, as per your preference.
Sprinkle freshly ground black pepper over the eggs to taste. Cook the eggs until the whites are set but the yolks are still a bit runny, approximately 3-4 minutes or more depending on your preference.
While the eggs are cooking, finely chop about 2 tablespoons of chives and set them aside for garnishing.
In a separate skillet, heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil over medium heat. Place the 4 slices of whole grain bread in the skillet and toast each side until golden brown and crisp.
Assemble the meal by placing the toasted bread on plates, layer with the warm ham slices, and top each with a fried egg.
Scatter the chopped chives over the eggs as garnish and serve immediately.
