Mediterranean Stacked Open Face Egg Sandwich
- 8 baguette, slices 2 per sandwich (not too thick)
- 8 slices prosciutto, fairly thin (not paper thin, you don't want it falling apart)
- 8 small slice provolone cheese, 2 per sandwich
- 2 tablespoons olives (to toast the baguettes)
- 8 large eggs (large or extra large)
- 5 12 ounces boursin cheese (garlic herb, chive, any combination, you can use the whole container for very creamy eggs or less if)
- 14 cup black olives, sliced (more or less to taste, 1 small 4 oz can works perfect)
- 1 teaspoon butter
- salt
- pepper
- 3 egg yolks (use extra large eggs)
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons sun-dried tomatoes, chopped (packed in oil)
- 12 cup butter
- 13 cup olive oil
- salt
- pepper
- Baguettes -- Thin slice the baguette brush with a little olive oil and toast each side until golden brown.
- Remove to a plate and just set to the side.
- Sauce -- Start this next because the eggs don't take too long.
- Butter and Oil -- In a small sauce pan, add the butter and oil and heat on medium low heat until the butter is melted and heated through.
- In a blender, add the egg yolks, lemon juice and the sundried tomatoes and blend until smooth.
- Just let this set as your butter and oil warms up for the sauce.
- Also, this is the time to start the eggs.
- Broiler -- Turn on your broiler, I use the 2nd to the top shelf so the sandwiches don't burn.
- You will be melting the cheese on top of each baguette once you put them together.
- Eggs -- I like to use a non stick pan for this.
- Beat your eggs well with a little salt and pepper.
- Then melt the butter in your pan and slowly cook your eggs on medium to medium low heat.
- Don't cook them too fast.
- Half way through cooking, add the olives and boursin cheese (or any herb soft cheese).
- Cook until the eggs are set, but still creamy and not over cooked.
- Sandwiches -- On a small cookie sheet lined with foil or parchment, add a baguette, then eggs, top with ham, and a slice of cheese.
- There will be 8 of these.
- Put the baguettes under the broiler until the cheese is melted.
- You will stack one baguette on top of the other to make one sandwich.
- Two (2) baguettes per sandwich.
- Sauce -- As the cheese is melting, finish your sauce.
- Back to the blender.
- Puree the tomatoes and eggs one last time, then slowly add in the warm butter and oil on slow speed until it thickens up.
- Take your time.
- Last minute taste for seasoning (salt and pepper) and add in the parsley.
- Done!
- Serve -- After stacking the sandwiches, top each with a drizzle of the warm Hollandaise sauce.This is open face, so there is no top bread slice.
- You don't have do use provolone, any white cheese will work fine.
- Use your favorite.
- Monterey Jack or a sharp white cheddar.
- ENJOY!
