Fried Eggs, Piranees

Cut three green peppers into halves and remove the seeds. Heat a tablespoon olive oil in a black frying pan, add the peppers and fry for two minutes on each side, lift up and keep on a plate.

Cut six thin slices of raw, lean ham and fry in the same pan for one minute on each side. Arrange half a green pepper on each slice of ham in the pan and carefully crack twelve fresh eggs over them. Evenly season the eggs with a half teaspoon each salt and pepper, sprinkle over a half teaspoon freshly chopped parsley, then set them in the oven for six minutes. Remove, carefully glide on a large dish and serve.
