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
Directions
Step 1
Start by heating a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
While the eggs are cooking, finely chop about 2 tablespoons of chives and set them aside for garnishing.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
Assemble the meal by placing the toasted bread on plates, layer with the warm ham slices, and top each with a fried egg.
Step 8
Scatter the chopped chives over the eggs as garnish and serve immediately.
