Instructions
- To start, turn the bread slices over and toast them until they are golden brown and crisp. To complete this step, you can either use a skillet or a toaster.
- Remove the bread that has been toasted. Prepare the prosciutto slices by cooking them in a skillet over medium heat for approximately one to two minutes on each side, or until they have a light crispiness.
- Place the prosciutto in a separate bowl after removing it from the skillet. While the butter is melting, the olive oil should be heated in the same skillet over medium heat.
- Egg should be broken into the skillet, and then it should be seasoned with salt and pepper to taste.
- Whether you prefer your eggs scrambled, sunny-side up, or over easy, the egg should be cooked to the degree of doneness that you prefer.
- While the egg is cooking, spread the pesto sauce on one side of each slice of toasted bread ensuring that it is evenly distributed.
- As soon as the egg has reached the desired level of doneness, carefully place it on one of the bread slices that has been covered in pesto.
- Place the slices of cooked prosciutto on top of the egg, and then place the slice of cheese on top of that.
- To finish off the sandwich, place the remaining slice of toasted bread on top of the sandwich.
- To add an additional punch of flavour and a burst of freshness to the sandwich, you can, if you so desire, garnish it with fresh basil leaves.
- The Pesto Prosciutto Breakfast Sandwich should be served as soon as possible, while the cheese is still warm and gooey and the egg yolk is still deliciously runny.
