Cut 2 slices cured ham into strips.

Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large frying pan or saucepan, then add the ham.

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.
