Do you have leftover Easter ham that needs to get used up?  Try Hammy Eggs!  I have always loved “Popeye Eggs,” which my college roommate used to make for us…which is a piece of bread with a hole in it, where an egg gets fried in the center, baking itself into the bread.  Thanks Tracy!! 🙂

This is a version of that idea.  I cut a hole in the middle of a piece of ham, fried both sides in butter and then baked the egg right in the middle.  Yum!!

Ingredients:
Makes one Hammy Egg

• one thick cut piece of ham
• one egg
• pinch of salt

Directions:

• Melt butter in a large skillet over med. heat.
• Meanwhile, with ham on a cutting board, cut a circle out of the middle.  Add ham and cook for about 1 min. or until just browned.  Flip and add egg into the hole.  Egg will spread out onto the ham.
