Pan-Fried Ham Slices

Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the glaze

   • In a small bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, Dijon mustard, pineapple juice (or water), and black pepper until the sugar is mostly dissolved. Set aside.
2. 2

   Heat the skillet

   • Place a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the butter and let it melt and foam.
3. 3

   Fry the ham slices

   • Carefully place the ham slices in the hot skillet in a single layer. You may need to do this in two batches.
   • Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until they are nicely browned and heated through.
4. 4

   Glaze and finish

   • Pour or brush the glaze over the ham slices in the pan.
   • Continue to cook for another 30-60 seconds per side, allowing the glaze to bubble and caramelize. Watch closely to prevent it from burning.
