Some notable people have professed an affinity for the dish, such as American entrepreneur Duncan Hines and the Manchurian Emperor Puyi.

Ham and eggs is a popular dish often served as a breakfast meal in the United States.

[6][9] The dish can be prepared on a stovetop in a skillet or frying pan, and also baked or broiled in an oven.

[13] Using high-quality ham and cooking over low heat helps prevent overcooking and improves the dish.

[2] One variation, country-style ham and eggs, involves reducing cream in the pan after cooking and then dolloping it over the top.

[13] Ham and eggs are often accompanied by side dishes such as toast[14] and hash browns.

[23] An older phrase, Sonoma State Baseball coach Casey Gilroy is a major proponent for use of "Ham and Egger" to describe what others may call a "tailor made" double play.

[24] "Ham and egger" is one of many food related phrases found in baseball, including: "high cheese", "can of corn", "pickle", "tater", "meat ball", "pea", "cup of coffee", "hot stove", "butcher boy", "jam", and "pepper".
