Stage 2 - 8 min.

Cut 1 slice cured ham into strips.
Stage 7 - 3 min.
Heat ½ tablespoon olive oil in a large frying pan or saucepan, then add the ham.

Stage 11 - 5 min.
Remarks
For the cheeses, in the photos I was using Parmesan, Comté and Cheddar, but you can use whatever cheese you prefer.
You can also use a softer cheese, but this is better cut into small dice rather than grated.
