Open-Faced Artichoke, Mozzarella and Fried Egg Sandwiches
- Four 1/2-inch-thick slices of onion-rosemary focaccia
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 8 baby artichokes in oil, drained and quartered
- Four 1/4-inch-thick slices of fresh mozzarella
- 4 large eggs
- Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
- 4 basil leaves, torn
- Preheat the broiler and position a rack 4 inches from the heat.
- Lay the focaccia slices on a baking sheet and drizzle them with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil.
- Broil until the edges are browned, about 30 seconds per side.
- Working on the baking sheet, top the foccacia with the artichokes.
- Tear the mozzarella into pieces and arrange over the artichokes.
- In a large nonstick skillet, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
- When the oil is hot, crack in the eggs and cook over moderately high heat until the whites are set and the yolks are still runny, about 2 minutes.
- Remove from the heat and season the eggs with salt and pepper.
- Broil the focaccia for about 1 minute, until the mozzarella is just melted.
- Top each piece of focaccia with a fried egg, sprinkle with the basil and serve at once.
