Heat the coconut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until melted and evenly coating the pan.
Place the uncured ham slices in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until lightly browned and heated through. Remove the ham from the skillet and set aside.
Lower the heat to medium. Crack the eggs into the skillet, ensuring they are evenly spaced. Cook the eggs to your preference: 3-4 minutes for sunny side up, or flip and cook an additional 1-2 minutes for over easy.
Season the eggs with salt and black pepper as they cook.
To serve, place two slices of ham on each plate, then top with two eggs.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately.
