Make 6 wells in the piperade. Crack one egg into each well. Cover the pan and cook over low heat for 4–5 minutes until egg whites are set but yolks are still runny. Meanwhile, quickly sear the ham slices in a dry skillet for 1 minute per side. Serve the piperade with eggs topped with ham slices and fresh parsley.
