Ingredients

• 1 large Egg
• 1 thin slice Ham slice
• 1 tablespoon Butter
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Parsley (optional, for garnish)
• 1 slice Bread (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat.

Step 2

Once the skillet is warm, add the butter and let it melt completely, swirling to coat the pan evenly.

Step 3

Place the slice of ham in the skillet and cook for 30-60 seconds on each side until it begins to brown slightly. Remove the ham from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

Crack the egg into the skillet carefully, being cautious not to break the yolk.

Step 5

Sprinkle the egg with salt and black pepper to taste. Cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until the egg white sets while the yolk remains runny (adjust cooking time if you prefer a firmer yolk).

Step 6

While the egg is cooking, lightly toast the bread if using, and place the cooked ham slice on top of the toast or directly on the serving plate.

Step 7

Once the egg is cooked to your preference, gently remove it from the skillet with a spatula and place it on top of the ham.

Step 8

Garnish with chopped parsley if desired and serve immediately. Enjoy your delicious fried egg with ham!
