Beat the eggs with the salt and pepper.

Heat the butter in a saucepan until just melted.  Pour in the beaten egg and stir over a gentle heat until just set.  It should be solid but not dried.  Transfer it to a plate and place the slices of ham on top.  They should pick up a little bit of heat from the egg.

Wine does not go well with eggs but a white would be better than red.
