Skillet Poached Eggs with Prosciutto
- 1 cup finely chopped green onion tops
- 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/4 cup minced fresh Italian parsley
- 1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
- 4 1/2-inch-thick slices country-style sourdough bread, each about 4x6 inches
- 3 ounces arugula leaves (about 4 cups)
- 8 thin slices prosciutto (about 4 ounces)
- 8 large eggs
- Fresh Italian parsley sprigs
- Finely chop the green onion tops by first cutting them lengthwise into long, thin strips.
- Combine chopped green onion tops, extra-virgin olive oil, minced Italian parsley, and salt in small bowl; whisk to blend.
- (Can be prepared 3 hours ahead.
- Let stand at room temperature.)
- Lightly toast 4 sourdough bread slices.
- Spread each with 1 tablespoon green onion oil.
- Arrange 1/4 of arugula on each bread slice.
- Top each with 2 slices prosciutto.
- Transfer 1 prepared bread slice to each of 4 plates.
- Divide remaining green onion oil equally among four 1 1/4-cup custard cups or ramekins.
- Using pastry brush, spread green onion oil over inside of each cup to coat (most of mixture will fall back to bottom of cup).
- This will keep the eggs from sticking, making them easier to unmold later.
- Break open 2 eggs into each prepared cup.
- Place cups in large skillet.
- Pour enough water into skillet to reach halfway up sides of cups.
- Set skillet over medium-high heat and bring water to simmer.
- Reduce heat to medium-low.
- Cover skillet and gently cook eggs until whites are just firm to touch and yolks are set to desired consistency, about 6 minutes.
- Using spatula and oven mitt or hand towel as aids, lift cups with eggs from water.
- Cut around eggs to loosen.
- Turn 2 eggs out onto each prepared bread slice.
- Garnish with Italian parsley sprigs.
