Ham and eggs with roasted pepper sauce recipe (original) (raw)

A quick, easy meal for two. Miss out the ham for a tasty meat-free option.

Ingredients

• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 1 onion, finely sliced
• 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
• 2 green peppers, finely sliced
• 110g/4oz roasted peppers, from a jar, thinly sliced (optional)
• 2 tomatoes, roughly chopped
• 4 free-range eggs, beaten
• 4 slices ham, bacon or prosciutto
• 2 slices crusty bread, toasted
• salt and freshly ground black pepper

Method

1. Heat a frying pan until smoking, then add the olive oil followed by the onions, garlic and green peppers. Cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the onions are beginning to soften.
2. Stir in the roasted peppers (if using) and tomatoes, and cook for 1-2 minutes, then season with salt and pepper.
3. Pour in the eggs and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring to scramble the eggs, until the eggs are just set.
4. In a clean frying pan, fry the ham for one minute on both sides, or until golden-brown all over.
5. Serve the eggs on top of crusty bread, topped with the fried ham.
