Ingredients

• 4 slices Ham
• 4 large Eggs
• 1 cup (grated) Parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons (chopped) Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.

Step 2

Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in the skillet, ensuring even coverage.

Step 3

Add the ham slices into the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes per side until warmed through and slightly golden. Remove the ham from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter to the pan.

Step 5

Crack the eggs directly into the skillet, spacing them out evenly. Cook them sunny-side up, or flip for over-easy if preferred.

Step 6

Sprinkle salt and black pepper evenly over the eggs as they cook.

Step 7

When the eggs are almost done, sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the top of the eggs. Let it melt slightly for an extra layer of flavor.

Step 8

Place the cooked ham slices onto serving plates, then carefully transfer the eggs on top of the ham.

Step 9

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired. Serve immediately while warm.
