How to Make Eggs on Toast with Ham
- In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter until bubbly but not browned.
- While the butter is melting, toast the bread slices in a toaster until golden brown.
- Once the butter is melted, add the slices of ham to the skillet. Cook for about 1-2 minutes on each side until heated through and slightly crispy. Remove the ham from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, crack the eggs gently into the pan. Cook for about 2-3 minutes for sunny-side up or until the whites are set. For over-easy eggs, gently flip them over and cook for an additional 1 minute.
- While the eggs are cooking, place the toasted bread on plates. Top each slice with a piece of ham.
- Once the eggs are cooked to your liking, place one egg on top of each slice of ham. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious fried eggs on toast with ham!
