Ham and Eggs Cut the required number of slices of ham, being careful to make them of equal thickness. Trim off all rind and rust, and, if the ham is very salt, allow the slices to lie in boiling water, closely covered. from 10 to 12 minutes. Then lift them out and dry them in a cloth. Heat a frying pan over the fire, and, if the ham is lean, melt in it a small piece of butter. When hot, lay in the shoes of ham, and cook them quickly first on one side and then on the other. When sufficiently cooked, place them on a hot dish and keep warm over hot water. Break an egg at a time
