Simmer for 3-5 minutes until desired doneness, spooning hot water over the yolk until slightly opaque.

When the timer rings,carefully remove eggs from the water with a slotted spoon, letting the excess water drain away; place on top of ham; drizzle sauce over the top; garnish with parsley and serve immediately.
