Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices Whole30-compliant ham
- 4 pieces large eggs
- 2 tablespoons ghee or clarified butter
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives
Instructions
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of ghee or clarified butter.
Once the butter is melted and hot, add the ham slices to the skillet. Cook the ham for about 2-3 minutes on each side, until it is nicely browned and heated through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of ghee or clarified butter, allowing it to melt.
Crack the eggs into the skillet, trying to keep them separated. Reduce the heat to medium-low and season with salt and black pepper.
Cook the eggs until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny, about 3-4 minutes. If desired, cover the skillet with a lid to help the tops of the eggs cook more evenly.
To serve, divide the ham slices evenly between two plates and top each plate with two eggs.
Garnish with chopped fresh chives and serve immediately.
