African Rice with Ham

From Diana and Mom:

HAM & AFRICAN RICE

1/2 chopped onion
3 TB oil - I have to tell you, when I cook I don't measure exactly. I'm making a guess at how much oil to put in.
1/3 canned ham diced up - I was using some left overs from another recipe.
Saute the onions until tender. I also added 1 TB real butter.
2 c. rinsed and drained white or brown rice - add to the pan with the oil and onion and cook and stir until the rice starts to brown.
Stir in 4 cups of water and cook until the rice is tender - stirring now and then.
Salt & pepper to taste.
1 egg for each person. I scrambled these eggs up in a seperate pan, added some salt and pepper, and then spooned it on top
of the rice and we stirred it in with our ham and rice and it was YUMMY!
