Serves 2

Ingredients

Chives
2 tablespoons, chopped (for garnish)
Black pepper
to taste
Salt
to taste
Unsalted butter
1 tablespoon
Ham
4 slices, preferably thick-cut
Eggs
4 large

Instructions

  1. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat, ensuring it’s hot but not smoking.
  2. Add the unsalted butter to the skillet and let it melt completely, swirling the pan to coat the bottom evenly.
  3. Carefully place the ham slices in the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the ham is heated through and has developed a slight golden brown crust. Remove the ham from the skillet and set aside on a warm plate.
  4. In the same skillet, crack the eggs directly into the melted butter. Cook the eggs to your desired doneness—sunny-side up, over-easy, or scrambled, adjusting the heat as necessary to prevent burning.
  5. While the eggs are cooking, season them generously with salt and pepper to enhance the flavors.
  6. Once the eggs are cooked to your liking, place the ham back on the plate and top it with the eggs.
  7. Garnish the dish with chopped chives for a fresh, oniony bite that complements the ham perfectly.
  8. Serve hot and enjoy the comforting flavors of this classic breakfast dish!

Tips

  • 💡 For an extra flavor boost, consider adding a sprinkle of cheese over the eggs during the last minute of cooking.
  • 💡 Swap the ham for bacon or smoked turkey for a different protein option.
  • 💡 Feel free to add sautéed vegetables such as spinach or bell peppers into the eggs for added nutrition and flavor.
