Arugula Salad With Chopped Egg And Prosciutto Recipes

ARUGULA PARMESAN PROSCIUTTO SALAD

Steps:

• Cut the slices of prosciutto into 2- to 3-inch pieces. Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Place the prosciutto in the hot pan and cook for a few minutes on each side, until crispy (the prosciutto will crisp up even more once it cools). Transfer the prosciutto to a paper towel lined plate.
• Place the arugula in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and the lemon juice and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Toss the arugula to coat it with the dressing and add the Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese.
• Top with the crispy prosciutto, or plate on individual serving dishes and then top with the crispy prosciutto.

OPEN FACED EGG SANDWICHES WITH ARUGULA SALAD

Steps:

• Mix garlic and mayonnaise together in a small bowl. Spread mayonnaise on 1 side of the bread slices. Mix arugula with olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper in a bowl until coated; divide arugula in fourths, placing each portion atop mayonnaise side of a bread slice.
• Spray a skillet with cooking spray, place over medium-high heat, and crack eggs into skillet, one at a time. Cook on one side only until whites are firm and yolks are slightly runny, 2 to 3 minutes. Season eggs with salt and black pepper. Gently place an egg on each open-face sandwich.

ARUGULA-PROSCIUTTO PIZZA

Steps:

• Place a pizza stone or upside-down baking sheet in the oven and preheat to 450 degrees F. Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface into a 12-inch round. Transfer to a cornmeal-dusted pizza peel or another upside-down baking sheet; slide the dough onto the hot pizza stone or baking sheet. Bake 8 minutes. Meanwhile, combine 2 tablespoons olive oil in a bowl with the garlic, rosemary, and salt and pepper to taste.
• Remove the pizza from the oven, brush with the olive oil mixture and top with the ricotta and mozzarella. Return the pizza to the oven; bake until the cheese is golden and bubbly, about 6 more minutes.
• Meanwhile, toss the arugula and shallot in a large bowl with the lemon juice, the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, and salt and pepper to taste. Top the pizza with the arugula salad, prosciutto and shaved parmesan. Cut into slices.

ARUGULA SALAD WITH CHOPPED EGG AND PROSCIUTTO

Steps:

• Make the vinaigrette: In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil and vinegar. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Divide arugula among 4 large plates. Using the large holes of a box grater, grate 1 egg over the center of each salad. (Alternatively, press the egg through a wide-meshed sieve or hand-chop.)
• Sprinkle each salad very lightly with salt. Whisk the dressing again and drizzle about 1 1/2 tablespoons over each salad. Drape 2 slices of prosciutto artfully over each salad, if using, and serve.

ARUGULA SALAD WITH FRIED GORGONZOLA

Steps:

• Blend the Gorgonzola in a food processor until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides of the work bowl occasionally. Using 1 rounded teaspoon of cheese for each, form the cheese into 18 (1-inch) balls. Working in batches, coat the balls with the egg then with the bread crumbs. Repeat coating the balls in the egg and bread crumbs. Arrange the balls on a small baking sheet. Cover and refrigerate until cold, at least 2 hours or overnight.
• Whisk the lemon juice, garlic, and lemon peel in a medium bowl to blend. Gradually whisk in 1/3 cup oil. Season the dressing, to taste, with salt and pepper. Set the dressing aside.
• Add enough oil to a heavy small saucepan to come 2 inches up the sides of the pan. Heat the oil over medium heat. At this point, remove the refrigerated Gorgonzola balls from the refrigerator. Working in batches, add the cold balls to the hot oil and fry just until golden brown, about 20 seconds. (It is essential that the Gorgonzola balls be cold when they go into the oil, otherwise they will fall apart in the oil. If they start to warm up at any point, return them to the refrigerator to firm back up.) Using a slotted spoon, transfer the fried balls to paper towels to drain.
• Toss the arugula in a large bowl with enough dressing to coat. Season the salad, to taste, with salt and pepper. Mound the salad on plates. Top the salads with the hot fried Gorgonzola balls and serve immediately.
