Ingredients
Scale
- 4 extra-large eggs
- 4 large slices rustic bread (1.25 cm / 0.5 inch thick), such as sourdough
- 2 ripe Hass avocados, halved and pitted
- 115 g / 4 oz Italian prosciutto (4 to 8 slices)
- 30 ml / 2 tbsps freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 2.5 ml / ½ tsp Sriracha
- Kosher salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 30 g / 2 tbsps / ¼ stick unsalted butter
- Microgreens or baby arugula (for garnish)
Instructions
- Prosciutto Preparation: Arrange prosciutto slices in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet, roasting at 190°C (375°F) for 7-9 minutes until edges curl and turn golden brown.
- Bread Toasting: Simultaneously toast bread slices on a separate baking sheet for 12-15 minutes, flipping midway to achieve a light golden-brown, crisp texture.
- Avocado Mixing: Halve avocados, remove pits, and mash in a mixing bowl. Blend with lemon juice, Sriracha sauce, salt, and black pepper, maintaining a slightly chunky consistency.
- Egg Frying: Melt butter in a large sauté pan over medium heat. Crack eggs into four quadrants, season with salt and pepper. Cook for 1 minute, then reduce heat and cover for 2-3 minutes, ensuring set whites and soft yolks.
- Assembly: Spread seasoned avocado mixture across toasted bread slices. Layer with crisp prosciutto and top with perfectly cooked fried eggs. Garnish with microgreens or baby arugula for a fresh finish.
Notes
- Precision Cooking: Center your oven rack to ensure uniform heat distribution and consistent toasting of prosciutto and bread.
- Crisp Prosciutto Technique: Space slices separately on parchment paper to allow fat rendering and achieve a delicate, golden crispness.
- Egg Cooking Mastery: Use medium heat and cover the pan to create perfectly set whites with luxuriously runny yolks without overcooking.
- Texture Balance: Keep avocado mash slightly chunky and maintain a light hand when mixing seasonings to preserve natural flavors and creamy consistency.
