Now, let's dive into the flavorful recipe for Ham Toast:

Ingredients:
- 1 cup chopped lean ham
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 tablespoon butter
- Pepper to taste
- 2 slices of bread

Instructions:

1. Begin by chopping the lean ham into small pieces. It is recommended to use the refuse bits as they tend to be leaner and have a stronger flavor.

2. In a pan, melt the butter over medium heat until it is completely melted and starting to bubble.

3. Add the chopped ham to the pan and sauté it in the melted butter for a few minutes, until it starts to brown slightly and release its flavors.

4. In a separate bowl, beat the egg and add a little pepper to taste. Mix well to combine.

5. Pour the beaten egg mixture into the pan with the ham. Stir everything together until the egg is fully cooked and well incorporated with the ham. This should take about 2-3 minutes.

6. While the ham and egg mixture is cooking, toast the bread slices until they are golden brown and crispy. You can butter the bread if desired for extra flavor.

7. Once the ham and egg mixture is done, remove it from the heat.

8. To assemble the Ham Toast, place a hot buttered slice of toast on a plate and spoon the ham and egg mixture over the top of the toast.

9. Serve immediately, and enjoy the delicious combination of flavors and textures.
