Ingredients
- 3 slices ham
- 3 eggs
- ½ Tablespoon unsalted butter (or sunflower/ canola oil)
- 1 Tablespoon spring onion chopped greens
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- salt to taste
Instructions
- Heat ½ Tablespoon unsalted butter in a pan over medium heat. Once melted, fry in 3 slices ham. Flip them once for even cooking.
- Crack 3 eggs onto the ham without breaking the yolks. Reduce heat to third and cook until the eggs firm up, keeping the yolks slightly runny, about 5-8 minutes. Season with salt and ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper.
- Transfer the Hemenex to a plate and garnish with 1 Tablespoon spring onion (chopped) for a fresh touch.

Notes
- SERVING:
- The basic recipe makes 1 bold portion.
- SERVING: Serve warm. Add some chopped tomatoes, peppers, cucumber, or any other vegetables you prefer. Serve with fresh bread—I enjoy spreading a bit of unsalted butter on it, but you can skip that step if you're watching your calories. Dobrou chuť!
- A wide, flexible spatula, like the one used for flipping pancakes, is perfect for transferring the cooked Hemenex from the pan to the plate.
- I used an 8 inch (20 cm) non-stick pan for this recipe.
- Hemenex eggs are cooked sunny-side up, with runny yolks beneath a thin surface membrane. For best results, use eggs from a trusted source.
- Avoid covering the pan, as it will cook the yolks through, causing them to lose their vibrant yellow color and develop a whitish layer on top.
