This recipe is also from the Food Network Cookbook.

It was definately unusual, but we did like it.  Basically you are frying ham that has been dipped in egg and seasoned flour and serving it with a side of.......well, it is hard to describe- green eggs!  We ended up dumping the egg mixture on top.

Here is the picture from the cookbook:

Eggs, Half Sours, Mustard, Olive Oil, Parsley, Chives, Tarragon, Satl & Pepper,

 Flour, Milk, Ham Steak and Capers





This is the Miller Lite I like to drink while making dinner.    

 

Hard boil two eggs.  Cut them in half and put the yolks in another bowl.  Chop up the whites.





Mash up the yolks.  Add 2 T warm water, 2 T pickling liquid from the Half Sours, 3 T olive oil whisked in.

Rough chop 1/2 cup parsley (this is where I screwed up and put the whole amount in the egg mixture.  Don't do that.  It only calls for 2 T in this part.  Mince fresh Tarragon.

Add salt and pepper.  Dice 1/3 cup Half-Sours.  I had a hard time finding them in the supermarket.  Turns out they are in the refrigerator section of the deli.  At least in Giant that is where they were.  

 Add the Half Sours and the Egg Whites and stir it all up.

1 1/2 cups of flour was waaay too much.  I had a LOT left over.  I would do maybe 3/4 cup.  Add the rest of the parsley and a pinch of pepper. 

1 cup milk and an egg, beaten.  I thought waaay too much milk- it got wasted.  I bet 1/2 cup would be OK. 

Ham Steak  Cut in fourths. 

Frying pan with about 1/8 inch olive oil.  Medium high.

Capers.  Throw in the frying pan for about a minute.  Yum.  

 Voila!
