Fried Egg With Ham Food

HAM, EGG & CHIPS

Steps:

• Put the potatoes in a pan of cold salted water. Bring to the boil, then simmer gently for about 5 mins or until they begin to crack but are still firm (like par-boiling roast potatoes). Drain and spread out on a baking tray. Put in the fridge and leave to cool for at least 1 hr.
• Heat the oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pan or deep-fat fryer to 130C or until a piece of bread browns in 1 min. Put the cooled potatoes in the hot oil and cook for 4-6 mins until they become soft and begin to brown slightly. You can cook all the chips together, but keep checking the temperature of the oil. Remove the chips with a slotted spoon. Drain on kitchen paper, then put back on the baking tray and chill in the fridge for 1 hr.
• Reheat the oil to 190C or until a piece of bread browns in 15 secs. Lower the chips into the hot oil and deep-fry for 4 mins until they are browned and super-crisp. Lift the chips out of the oil with a slotted spoon onto a plate lined with kitchen paper to drain. Sprinkle with salt.
• Meanwhile, get the duck fat nice and hot in a large frying pan before cracking in the eggs. Fry them gently at first, then turn up the heat if you like the whites crisp. Season generously.
• Divide the ham between two plates with the fried eggs, a good spoonful of brown sauce and a generous portion of the triple-cooked chips. Cheers, Dad!

HAM AND EGG FRIED RICE

Steps:

• Heat a wok or a small, heavy skillet over high heat. Add 1 1/2 tablespoons oil, swirl to coat the pan. Add eggs and scramble them. As soon as there is no more freely running egg, turn them out into a bowl and break them into small bits. They should be soft and a bit runny -- not brown.
• Heat the wok or a large skillet and add 2 tablespoon oil to coat. Add the rice and toss briskly to coat and separate each grain, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add the ham and peas. Toss to mix in the ingredients and allow the mixture to heat through, about 30 seconds. Return the eggs to the pan and toss to combine. Season with salt, scallions and peanuts, tossing another 5 to 10 seconds to let the eggs get hot.

HAM AND SPINACH HASH WITH FRIED EGGS

Steps:

• Preheat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat with 2 turns of the pan of extra-virgin olive oil, about 2 tablespoons, and 2 tablespoons of butter. While the pan is getting hot and the butter is melting, cut the potatoes in half and then thinly slice them, add to the hot skillet and season with salt, pepper, thyme and the crushed red pepper flakes. Cook, stirring every now and then, for about 10 minutes or, until potatoes have browned and are tender. Add the onion and the ham and continue to cook for 3 to 4 minutes
• Preheat another skillet over medium high heat with 2 tablespoons of butter. Once the butter has melted and the bubbles have subsided, crack extra-large eggs into the pan, season with salt and pepper and fry to desired doneness.
• While the eggs are frying, finish off the hash by adding the roughly chopped spinach and basil to the potatoes. (Defrosted frozen spinach and some pesto would be added in at the same point if using substitutions.) Toss to wilt and warm the spinach. Sprinkle the hash with tomatoes and cheese and remove from the heat. Transfer the ham and spinach hash to plates. Top each portion with a single fried egg or arrange the fried eggs evenly over the platter.

HAM AND EGG FRIED RICE

Steps:

• Heat 1/4 cup of the canola oil in a large nonstick saute pan set over medium-high heat. Add the rice and spread it out in an even layer. Cook the rice without stirring to crisp it up, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir the rice and continue to cook until lightly browned and crispy, about 4 minutes.
• While the rice is cooking, heat the remaining 3 tablespoons canola oil in a medium saute pan over medium heat. Add the onions and saute until translucent, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the ham and cook until the edges start to brown, 3 minutes.
• In a medium bowl beat together the eggs and milk. Add a pinch each of salt and pepper.
• Add the spinach to the rice and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes. Then add the sauteed onions and ham. Add the eggs and give it a good stir. Cook, stirring occasionally until the eggs are cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.

• Place the slices of bread or toast on a plate.
• Top with the fried eggs, ham and cheese.
• Season to taste with salt and pepper.

HAM & POTATO HASH WITH BAKED BEANS & HEALTHY 'FRIED' EGGS

Steps:

• Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil. Add the potatoes and boil for 5 mins until just tender. Drain well and leave in the colander to steam-dry.
• Meanwhile, spray an ovenproof pan with cooking spray. Add the leeks with a splash of water and fry until very soft and squishy. Add a few more sprays of the oil, tip in the potatoes along with the ham, and fry to crisp up a little. Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6.
• Stir in the mustard, 1 egg and a good amount of seasoning with a fork - break up some of the potatoes roughly as you do. Flatten down the mixture, spray the top with oil, and bake in the oven for 15-20 mins until the top is crisp.
• When the hash is nearly ready, heat 200ml water in a non-stick frying pan with a lid (or use a baking sheet as a lid). When it is steaming (but before it simmers), crack in the remaining 4 eggs and cover with a lid. Cook for 2-4 mins until the eggs are done to your liking. Meanwhile, heat the beans.
• Lift an egg onto each plate, add a big scoop of hash and spoon on some beans.
