Peppered Ham

Peppered Ham Recipe

Hot, sweet and deliciously browned, this is a nothing-to-it, last-minute treat that makes ordinary breakfast ham a bit special. Start by going to your favorite deli or specialty shop and ordering ¼-inch thick ham slices, allowing one per serving.

Ingredients
6 (¼-inch) think slices of ham, cut in half to make half-rounds
Coarsely ground black pepper
2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
Instructions
1. Cut off excess fat from ham and grease a cast-iron skillet with it. Place skillet over medium-high heat. When hot, add ham, sprinkle with black pepper, and cook, pressing down with a spatula, 1 to 2 minutes.
2. Flip ham over. Sprinkle each slice with black pepper and 1 teaspoon brown sugar.
3. When the second side has browned, about 1 to 2 minutes, flip ham, sugar side down. Cook 15 seconds. Remove to a warmed plate and cover with foil. Serves 6.
Passover variation: prepare soysage according to package directions. Follow step 3 above. Or use smoked salmon instead of ham or sausage as a side dish.
