Ingredients

  • Ingredients
    1. 6 ounces sliced boiled ham, coarsely chopped
    2. 1/4 cup mayonnaise
    3. 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
    4. 1 teaspoon hot sauce
    5. 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
    6. 2 tablespoons snipped chives
    7. Four 3/4-inch thick slices of firm white sandwich bread
    8. 1 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons unsalted butter, softened
    9. 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
    10. 4 large eggs
    11. Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Directions

  1. In a food processor, pulse the ham until finely chopped. Transfer the ham to a bowl and stir in the mayonnaise, mustard, hot sauce, cayenne and chives.
  2. Toast the bread until golden. Spread the toast with 2 teaspoons of the butter and top with the deviled ham.
  3. In a very large nonstick skillet, melt the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter in the olive oil. Crack the eggs into the skillet and cook over moderately high heat until the whites are set, about 2 minutes. Season each egg lightly with salt and black pepper. Using a spatula, set the eggs on the deviled ham sandwiches and serve immediately.
