FRIED EGG, PROSCIUTTO, FRISEE AND BLUE CHEESE ON CIABATTA
Steps:
- Whisk together vinegar, mustard, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a medium bowl. Whisk in the olive oil until combined. Fold in the crumbled blue cheese. Add the frisee and toss well to coat the frisee with the dressing. Season with more black pepper, to taste.
- Heat a little of the butter in a small nonstick skillet over medium heat. Gently crack an egg into a small dish, and then add to the pan with the butter and cook until the white is set and the yellow is slightly firm, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and then gently turn the egg over and continue cooking for 1 minute. The yolk should still be slightly runny. Repeat with remaining butter and eggs.
- Place the bread on a flat surface and top each with 1/4 of the frisee mixture, followed by 2 slices of prosciutto, and then an egg. Place a thin slice of blue cheese on top of the egg and garnish with ground black pepper. Place another piece of bread on top. Repeat to make a total of 4 sandwiches.
ARUGULA SALAD WITH CHOPPED EGG AND PROSCIUTTO
This salad mimics a traditional salad favored in Switzerland called nüsslisalat mit ei, featuring clusters of mâche (a.k.a. lamb's lettuce or corn salad). Arugula is easier to find in North America, sold as baby arugula or as "wild" arugula, which has jagged leaves. Larger leaves of garden arugula or baby spinach, or a combination, would also work.

Steps:
- Make the vinaigrette: In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil and vinegar. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Divide arugula among 4 large plates. Using the large holes of a box grater, grate 1 egg over the center of each salad. (Alternatively, press the egg through a wide-meshed sieve or hand-chop.)
- Sprinkle each salad very lightly with salt. Whisk the dressing again and drizzle about 1 1/2 tablespoons over each salad. Drape 2 slices of prosciutto artfully over each salad, if using, and serve.
EGGS BAKED IN CRISPY PROSCIUTTO BASKETS
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375ºF. Lightly grease muffin pan with oil. Place 1 slice of prosciutto in each muffin cup, being sure to fully cover bottom and sides and leaving about a 1/4" overhang on all sides. Spoon 1 heaping Tbsp. cheese into each prosciutto cup. Crack 1 egg into each, being careful not to break yolk. Drizzle 1 tsp. cream over each egg, then top with a pinch of thyme, salt, and pepper.
- Bake until whites have just set, about 15 minutes. Transfer pan to a wire rack and let cool 3 minutes. Run a knife around edges of prosciutto baskets and scoop out of pan. Serve immediately.

Steps:
- Preheat broiler, with the tray set at the lowest position. Broil the bread on one side until toasted, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove and divide the cheese and prosciutto evenly on the untoasted sides. Return to broiler and cook, open-faced, until the prosciutto is crispy and the cheese has begun to melt, about 1 minute. Turn off broiler, leaving the sandwiches inside to stay warm. In a frying pan, melt 1 tablespoon of the butter, then fry the eggs to the desired doneness. Remove the sandwiches and top each with an egg. Add the remaining butter to the pan and sauté the anchovies and garlic over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, until the garlic begins to soften. Add the spinach and cook until it wilts, then add the lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Spoon over the sandwiches and serve.
- Suggestions for the kids
- Omit the anchovies, garlic, spinach, and lemon juice. Top with another slice of toast before serving. And if the prosciutto and Parmesan are too sharp, replace them with honey-baked ham and white cheddar.

Steps:
- Make sauce:
- In a small saucepan heat butter over moderately low heat until foam subsides and stir in flour. Cook roux, stirring constantly, 2 minutes. Add milk and cream in a stream, whisking, and simmer, whisking, 2 minutes, or until sauce thickens slightly. Remove pan from heat and stir in cheese, nutmeg, and salt and pepper to taste until cheese is melted. Keep sauce warm, covered, over very low heat.
- Split and toast muffins. Put 2 muffin halves on each of 2 plates. In a non-stick skillet heat oil over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking and sauté arugula with salt to taste, stirring, until just wilted. Divide arugula among muffin halves and top with prosciutto.
- In same skillet heat butter over moderate heat until foam subsides and crack eggs, 1 at a time, into a small bowl, adding them as they are cracked to skillet. Season eggs with salt and pepper and cook 2 minutes, or until whites are set on bottom but still runny on top. With a spatula gently turn each egg over and cook 2 minutes more, or until yolks are just set. With spatula gently transfer eggs to prosciutto and top with cheese sauce.
Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients, especially the prosciutto and cheese. Look for prosciutto that is thinly sliced and has a deep red color. For the cheese, use a hard cheese that melts well, such as Parmesan or Gruyère.
- Cook the eggs over medium heat so that they have a chance to cook through without overcooking.
- If you don't have a grill, you can cook the prosciutto in a skillet over medium heat. Just be sure to watch it closely so that it doesn't burn.
- Serve the eggs immediately with the prosciutto, arugula, and cheese sauce. The eggs will start to cool down quickly, so it's best to enjoy them right away.
