You can substitute butter for olive oil for a different flavor profile.
For best results, make sure your eggs are fresh to prevent the whites from spreading too much in the pan.

I found this breakfast to be incredibly easy to prepare, almost as quick as pouring a bowl of cereal and milk. The pre-sliced ham, thinner than expected at 1/8th inch, was a standard smoked variety from the grocery store. Despite Chef John's recommendation for fresh eggs, my slightly older grocery store eggs still turned out well, although the yolks were a bit runny. They may not have looked perfect, but the taste was what mattered. Using large eggs made it a bit challenging to fit them neatly on the ham slices, but the end result was delicious. I cooked mine slightly longer for a firmer yolk, enjoying the caramelized bottom of the ham as the eggs cooked. I unnecessarily added salt to the eggs due to the ham's saltiness. Served with fresh apple slices, this meal was a quick and satisfying breakfast option. Thanks to Chef John for this creative and successful recipe!
