Leftover ham has never tasted so good.

1 cup shaved ham, cut into 1-inch strips
1/3 cup olive oil
2 cups cooked beans, cooled
1 Tbsp. each of chopped fresh herbs: dill, tarragon, parsley, and cilantro
1/2 red onion, julienned
1/2 cup croutons (see recipe at right)
11/2 tsp. kosher salt
3/4 tsp. black pepper
Pinch of ground cloves
4 soft-cooked eggs (see page 19), halved lengthwise

Place a skillet over medium-high heat; add olive oil and heat until it shimmers. Working in batches, fry shaved ham until crispy. Drain on paper towel. Stir ground cloves into oil and keep warm. In a large serving bowl, combine beans, herbs, red onion, croutons, salt, and pepper. Arrange crispy ham and eggs on top; spoon warm, spiced olive oil over all.
