Ingredients

• 1 loaf Ciabatta bread
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 4 slices Prosciutto
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 cup Frisée
• 2 ounces Blue cheese
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Butter
• 1 teaspoon Lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Preheat a skillet over medium heat and slice the ciabatta loaf in half lengthwise. Cut each half into two equal portions for serving.

Step 2

Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the cut sides of the ciabatta. Place the bread cut-side-down in the skillet and toast for 2-3 minutes, or until golden and crisp. Set aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and lay the prosciutto slices flat. Cook for 1-2 minutes per side until crispy. Remove from the skillet and set aside on a paper towel-lined plate.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to medium-low. Add the butter to the skillet and allow it to melt. Crack the eggs into the skillet, being careful not to break the yolks. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny. If desired, cover the skillet with a lid for softer yolks.

Step 5

In a small bowl, toss the frisée with the lemon juice, a pinch of salt, and a grind of black pepper for a light dressing.

Step 6

To assemble, place a portion of toasted ciabatta on each plate. Top each with 2 slices of crispy prosciutto, a handful of dressed frisée, and crumble about 1 ounce of blue cheese over the greens.

Step 7

Carefully place a fried egg on top of each sandwich. Serve immediately and enjoy the perfect balance of flavors and textures.
