Instructions

1. Season your gammon steaks lightly with salt and black pepper. If you have a whole gammon that has not been sliced, use a sharp chef's knife to cut the gammon into slices at least 1 inch thick.

2. Pour a thin layer of vegetable oil in a grill pan or frying pan over medium-high heat on the stove.

3. Add the gammon steak and cook for about three to five minutes per side, until a meat thermometer inserted in the center reads 145 degrees Fahrenheit, if it started uncooked. If you are using already cooked ham, you only need to heat it through. Remove from heat, but keep the pan covered to keep the gammon steak warm.

4. Crack 1 or 2 eggs into a lightly oiled pan and cook until the whites are firm and the yolk is cooked to your liking for eggs served sunny-side up. Alternately, you can poach the eggs by gently pouring them into a pot of simmering water and letting them cook for three to four minutes. Sunny-side up and poached are the most common ways that eggs are served with gammon steaks, but you can cook the eggs however you prefer.

5. Place the gammon on a serving plate and add the eggs on top to serve. Enjoy the gammon steak and eggs with potato wedges, as it is traditionally served in Great Britain.
