    Spread 1 tablespoon of cream cheese on each of the ham slices and cover with melissa. Roll up the slices and cut them into small rolls of about 1 cm width. Put the rolls on wooden skewers. Add peas to the soup and bring to the boil.

    Chop the remaining herbs, except for something to garnish. Add the herbs, except for something to sprinkle, and 2 tablespoons of cream cheese to the soup. Puree the soup with a hand blender until creamy.

    In the meantime, boil up about 1 litre of water for the eggs in a narrow, high pot. Add vinegar. Beat the eggs one by one in a cup and let them slide into the boiling water. Cook for about 3 minutes each time while boiling, carefully pressing the egg white with tablespoons against the egg yolk.
