About the recipe
Ham and eggs is suitable for any time of the day, as it’s infinitely adaptable. You can add feta or halloumi as the eggs fry, or, if you don’t feel like making the zesty green salsa, ketchup works just fine.
Recipe From
Ingredients
1 small knob of unsalted butter
½ tablespoon olive oil
160g cooked sliced higher-welfare ham
2 large free-range eggs
GREEN CHILLI & HERB SALSA
2 small green chillies
a few sprigs of fresh mixed herbs, such as flat-leaf parsley, tarragon, basil, mint, dill, marjoram, chives
6 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon cider vinegar
½ a lime
Method
- For the salsa, deseed and finely chop the chilli and place in a bowl. Pick, finely chop and add the herbs. Add the oil and vinegar, squeeze in the lime juice and mix together, then set aside.
- Heat the butter and oil in a frying pan over a medium heat. Once hot, add the ham slices. Immediately break the eggs over the ham and fry for 3 to 4 minutes or until the eggs are cooked to your liking.
- Season lightly, then serve immediately with the green chilli and herb salsa drizzled on top.
