Arugula Pesto Green Eggs And Ham Sandwich
- 5 ounces baby arugula
- 6 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 cup toasted pine nuts
- 3 garlic cloves, smashed
- 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1/3 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
- kosher salt
- 1-2 tablespoons water, as needed
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 large egg
- 2 thin slices prosciutto or Serrano ham
- 2 tablespoons arugula pesto
- slices of country bread, cut 1 1/2 inches thick and toasted
- Place the arugula in a bowl of ice water and set aside to soak briefly, at least 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, combine the oil, half of the pine nuts, garlic and lemon juice in a food processor fitted with the metal blade and process until the mixture is very smooth.
- Drain the soaked arugula, shake off excess water but dont pat dry (you want some of that water in the pesto) and add to the food processor.
- Pulse until the arugula is just incorporated, about 5 pulses.
- Add the cheese and remaining pine nuts, season well with salt, and pulse a few times to break up the pine nuts and mix in the seasoning.
- (If the mixture is very thick, stir in 1 to 2 tablespoons of water.)
- Taste the pesto and adjust the seasoning as desired.
