I was researching Slovakian recipes for this month's Eat the World Challenge and numerous recipes for Hemendex popped up. I opened the first one and saw a photo of Ham and Eggs, it took me until the third recipe to finally hear in my head "Hemendex" as Ham and Eggs with a Slovakian accent. I'm not really quick sometimes LOL.
I chose this recipe because it was such a fun name and because, with Easter around the corner, I thought it was a great way to used up leftover ham.
Since we had already visited Ukraine this year but still wanting to show solidarity, Evelyne of CulturEatz asked us to share a Slovakian recipe this month......

The recipes I looked at all called for thinly sliced ham, overlapping in a pan, topped with eggs seasoned simply with salt and pepper. Some included smoked paprika, some included dill. One recipe said you can substitute salami for the ham. Most used deli sliced ham. I used prosciutto because that was what I had in the fridge. I am going to make this again with thinly sliced pieces of leftover Easter ham.
