Ingredients
- 4 ham steaks
- 2 TBS dijon mustard
- 2 TBS butter, softened
- 4 slices of bread
- 2 tsp maple syrup
- 4 large eggs
Directions
- Preheat a large oven-safe skillet over low heat. Preheat the broiler too because you might need it.
- Cut a 2" - 2 1/2" hole out of the middle of each ham steak. You can pan fry the ham steaks on both sides to brown them a bit, then remove from the heat.
- In a small bowl combine the mustard and maple syrup. Spread one side of each slice of bread with butter and the other side with the mustard mixture. Then cut a hole into each slice of bread. A cookie cutter is helpful for this step.
- Spray the pan with non-stickcooking spray. Place the bread slices butter-side-down into the heated pan. Top each with a ham steak and line up the holes. Crack an egg into each hole.
- Cover the skillet and cook until the bread is browned underneath and the egg is cooked to desired doneness, approximately 5-7 minutes. You may want to increase the heat a bit, but be sure to watch it so the bread doesn't get too browned before the eggs are finished cooking. If your bread starts getting too brown, place the pan under the broiler for a minute to quickly finish cooking the eggs.
