Enjoy the ultimate comfort food with our Peppered Gammon Steak, Egg, and Chunky Chip Tray Bake.

Perfect for any occasion, it’s a delicious way to spend less time washing up and more time with loved ones.
Spread a single layer of chips on a baking tray or skillet pan and put them in a preheated oven for 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, take a bowl and add in the tomatoes. Drizzle them with some olive oil and a sprinkle of salt. Don’t add too much as the gammon is already quite salty.
Next, make the mayo by mixing the three ingredients together. Taste the mayo and adjust the seasoning if necessary. If you like it punchier then add in more English mustard. The whole grain mustard adds some nice texture, but you could easily add in some Dijon mustard if you prefer. This would give it a sharper taste.
Now to cook the gammon steak. Start by lightly coating the gammon steak in some olive oil. Grind some black pepper until there is a fine layer covering the plate. Take the gammon and roll the steak along the plate until the edge is coated in pepper, and don’t worry if some of it falls off. This will give the gammon quite a kick, so if you prefer something a little less spicy, just grind some black pepper over the steak instead or forget about the pepper altogether.
Once the 10-minute timer is up, turn the chips over so that they cook evenly. Next, add the tomatoes and gammon steak to the baking tray and put them back in the oven for another 8 minutes. It’s best to put the gammon in between the chips and tomato to act as a barrier. The last thing you want are soggy chips! While this is cooking, crack an egg into a ramekin and set aside. That will make it easier to pour the egg into the hot baking tray quickly.
After 8 minutes, take the tray out of the oven, flip the gammon steak and pour the egg quickly into one of the corners. Set another timer for 4-6 minutes depending on how runny you like your yolk.
Serve on a tray or plate with some mustard mayo or ketchup and any of the sides listed below.
