1. Spread the bread slices thinly with butter and toast them on both sides in a pan until golden.
2. Warm the ham slices in the same pan for 1 minute.
3. In another pan melt the butter, carefully crack in the eggs and fry over medium heat for 3-4 minutes - keep the yolks runny.
4. Put the toast on plates and pile ham on each slice.
5. Slide a fried egg onto each and season with salt and pepper.
6. Sprinkle with chives and serve with gherkins cut into fans.
Tip: The runny yolk is the "sauce" - so don't overcook the eggs.
