Ingredients
- 2 pieces Eggs
- 2 pieces Ham slices
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Gather all the ingredients and necessary equipment like a non-stick skillet and a spatula.
Step 2
Place the non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter.
Step 3
Once the butter is melted and slightly foaming, add the slices of ham to the skillet.
Step 4
Cook the ham slices for about 2 minutes on each side, or until they are slightly crispy and golden brown. Remove the ham from the skillet and set aside.
Step 5
Crack the eggs into a small bowl then gently slide them into the skillet, ensuring they don’t break.
Step 6
Lower the heat to medium-low and season the eggs with salt and black pepper.
Step 7
Cook for 2-3 minutes until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny. For firmer yolks, cover the skillet with a lid and cook for an additional minute.
Step 8
Once cooked to your liking, carefully remove the eggs from the skillet.
Step 9
Arrange the ham slices on a plate and place the eggs on top of or beside the ham.
Step 10
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired.
Step 11
Serve immediately and enjoy your classic ham and egg breakfast!
