Eggs Machiavellian (inspired By 'the Sims® 3')

Ingredients

• Servings: 1
• 2 (1/2-inch to 1-inch thick) quarter-slices watermelon
• 2 eggs
• 1 ounce shaved parmesan cheese, or more to taste
• 2 thin slices thinly sliced ham (optional)

Recipe

Preparation Time: 5 mins Cook Time: 10 mins Ready Time: 15 mins


• heat a large skillet over high heat. once hot, lie the watermelon into the pan with the rind along the edge of the pan, leaving one half the the cooking surface free.
• crack eggs into the free space in the skillet. top the eggs with 1/4 of the parmesan cheese. cook until the egg begins to solidify on the bottom, 1 to 2 minutes. begin folding the solid egg over the translucent egg . continue cooking until the egg can be tilted with the edge of a spatula without the top part of it sliding away from the cooked egg and is lightly crisped on the bottom, about 2 minutes more. flip both the eggs and the watermelon pieces; sprinkle another 1/4 of the parmesan cheese over the eggs and another 1/4 of the parmesan over the watermelon pieces. continue cooking until the egg whites are crisp on the underside, but the yolk remains soft when pressed lightly with the back of a spatula, 1 to 2 minutes. remove eggs to a plate.
• continue cooking watermelon until darkened on the underside, about 1 minute more. flip watermelon pieces again, top with remaining parmesan cheese, and remove to the plate with the eggs.
• sear ham slices in any remaining liquid in the skillet just until lightly browned and heated through, 1 to 2 minutes per side. transfer to the plate next to the watermelon and eggs.
