Poached egg and crispy prosciutto toast

Poached egg and crispy prosciutto toast is a simple yet sophisticated recipe that combines the rich creaminess of avocado, the savory crunch of prosciutto, and the delicate tenderness of a perfectly poached egg on a hearty slice of multi-grain bread. This dish is perfect for breakfast, brunch, or even a light lunch, offering a well-balanced blend of flavors and textures.

Ingredients:

1 tsp vinegar
5g
1 egg
54g
1 slice multi-grain bread
40g
1 oz prosciutto
27g
1/4 avocado
50g
1 dash salt
0.40g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Ingredients:
- Slice 1/4 avocado and set aside.
- Prepare a slice of multi-grain bread for toasting.
- Set out 1 oz (approximately 2 slices) of prosciutto.
2. Crisp the Prosciutto:
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
- Add the prosciutto slices to the skillet.
- Cook, turning occasionally, until the prosciutto is crispy and golden brown, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside on a paper towel to drain excess oil.
3. Toast the Bread:
- While the prosciutto is cooking, start toasting the slice of multi-grain bread to your desired crispness.
4. Poach the Egg:
- Fill a small pot with approximately 3 inches of water and bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
- Add 1 tsp of vinegar to the simmering water. This helps the egg whites to coagulate.
- Crack the egg into a small bowl or ramekin for easier transfer.
- Create a gentle whirlpool in the simmering water with a spoon and gently slide the egg into the center.
- Let the egg cook for about 3-4 minutes, until the whites are set and the yolk remains runny. Adjust cooking time for a firmer yolk if desired.
- Remove the egg with a slotted spoon and gently pat dry with a paper towel.
5. Assemble the Toast:
- Place the toasted multi-grain bread on a plate.
- Layer the sliced avocado evenly on top of the toast.
- Sprinkle a dash of salt over the avocado for added flavor.
- Lay the crispy prosciutto slices over the avocado.
- Carefully place the poached egg on top of the prosciutto.
6. Serve and Enjoy:
- Optionally, season the dish with additional salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious poached egg and crispy prosciutto toast!

Tips:

- Use fresh eggs for poaching to ensure they hold their shape better in the water.

- Adding vinegar to the poaching water helps the egg whites coagulate more quickly.

- Toast the multi-grain bread to your preferred level of crispiness, but aim for a golden brown color.

- Cook the prosciutto in a non-stick pan without oil over medium heat until it is crispy. Keep an eye on it to avoid burning.

- Mash the avocado with a fork for easy spreading and add a touch of lemon juice to prevent browning if you like.

- Assemble the toast by spreading the mashed avocado first, then layering with crispy prosciutto, and finally placing the poached egg on top.

- For a gourmet touch, garnish with a sprinkle of sea salt, cracked black pepper, or fresh herbs like chives or parsley.
