Ingredients
- 2 pieces Ham slices
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Chopped chives (optional)
- 2 slices Toast (optional, for serving)
Directions
Step 1
Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat and allow it to warm up for about 1 minute.
Step 2
Add the butter to the skillet and let it melt, swirling to coat the entire surface of the pan.
Step 3
Lay the ham slices flat in the skillet, making sure they don't overlap. Cook for about 2 minutes on each side until they are lightly browned and slightly crisp around the edges. Push the ham aside to make room for the eggs.
Step 4
Gently crack the eggs into the skillet, being careful not to break the yolks. Position them near the ham but not directly on top.
Step 5
Reduce the heat to medium-low and season the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper. Let them cook undisturbed for about 3-4 minutes, or until the whites are fully set and the yolks are still slightly runny. If you'd like firmer yolks, cover the skillet with a lid for the final minute of cooking.
Step 6
Once done, carefully transfer the ham and eggs to a serving plate using a spatula.
Step 7
Optionally, garnish the eggs with chopped chives for a fresh touch, and serve alongside toast or your favorite breakfast sides.
Step 8
Serve immediately and enjoy your Ham and Eggs Hemendex!
