Fried eggs with smoked ham

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Quick Meals
Classic 'Ham & Eggs' needs no recipe, but attention. This dish is about protein coagulation: egg white starts setting at 60°C, while yolk needs higher heat. Goal is 'golden mean': crispy ham, set but wobbly white, and runny yolk serving as sauce.

⚠️ Eggs

Instructions

1 ✓

Heat pan on medium. Add little fat, lay in ham slices. Fry 1-2 mins per side until edges curl and brown.

Tip: Ham fat renders out, flavouring the egg.
2 ✓

Push ham aside (or arrange), crack eggs onto it. If you like, fry on top of ham.

Tip: Due to heat difference lower flame so egg bottom doesn't burn before top is done.
3 ✓

Fry eggs until white turns opaque white but yolk is runny. Salt and pepper (avoid yolk with salt or it spots).

Tip: If you put lid on for 1 min, steam helps set top (sunny side up 'over easy' effect without turning).
4 ✓

Serve immediately sprinkled with fresh herbs.

Tip: Residual heat cooks egg further on plate, don't wait!

Recipe FAQ

Why did ham get rubbery?
Slice was too thick or pan not hot enough. Thin slice fries crispy quickly.
How to not break yolk?
Crack egg into small bowl first, slide into pan. This checks it's intact and shell-free.
