Brioche with Prosciutto, Gruyere and Egg

• Six 1-inch-thick slices of brioche
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus softened butter, for brushing
• 6 ounces frisee, torn into bite-size pieces (3 cups)
• 1/4 cup lightly packed parsley leaves
• 2 scallions, thinly sliced
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• Kosher salt
• Freshly ground pepper
• 6 large eggs
• 1/2 pound Gruyere cheese, thinly sliced
• 12 thin slices of prosciutto (6 ounces)

1. Preheat the broiler.
2. Brush both sides of the brioche slices with softened butter and arrange in a single layer on a large rimmed baking sheet.
3. Broil the brioche 8 inches from the heat, turning once, until lightly toasted, about 2 minutes total.
4. Leave the broiler on.
5. In a medium bowl, toss the frisee with the parsley, scallions, lemon juice and olive oil.
6. Season the salad with salt and pepper.
7. Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in each of 2 large nonstick skillets.
8. Crack 3 eggs into each skillet and cook sunny side up over moderate heat, until the whites are firm and the yolks runny, about 5 minutes.
9. Transfer to a plate and season with salt and pepper.
10. Top the brioche with the Gruyere, covering as much of the toasts as possible with the cheese.
11. Broil 8 inches from the heat for about 3 minutes, until the cheese is melted.
12. Transfer the cheesy brioche toasts to plates.
13. Top with the frisee salad, prosciutto and fried eggs and serve at once.
