  • Step 1

    Place eggs in pot of cold water (about an inch above top of eggs). Put lid on pot and bring to boil; then turn down the heat to simmer (cook for 10 minutes).

    Meanwhile, heat oil in saucepan set over medium heat and sauté ham for 1 minute. Add spinach and cook for another minute, until wilted.
