Egg Prosciutto And Asparagus Pizza Recipes

ASPARAGUS WITH PROSCIUTTO

Steps:

• For asparagus, snap off tough ends of spears where they naturally give when bent. Place spears into 1-inch of boiling water. Cover the pan and cook asparagus for 3 or 4 minutes, until spears are just tender but remain bright green in color, about 3 to 4 minutes.
• Drain and cold shock the spears in a colander under cool water. Return cooked asparagus to skillet and coat with lemon juice and a drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil.
• Remove bundles of several spears at a time from the pan and wrap with sliced prosciutto. Pile assembled bundles on a serving plate.

ASPARAGUS WITH PROSCIUTTO AND EGG

Steps:

• Place eggs in a pot of water, bring to a boil, remove from heat, cover and let sit 6 minutes. Yolks will be set but not fully hard cooked. Remove from the pot and set aside. Roll up the prosciutto and cut it in chunks. Place in a food processor with the bread crumbs and pulse until fairly fine.
• Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a skillet, add prosciutto mixture and sauté on medium, stirring constantly, until lightly browned. Bring a pot of water large enough to hold the asparagus to a boil, add asparagus, reduce heat to medium and cook until asparagus are tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Drain, season with salt and pepper and cover to keep warm. Peel eggs and chop them. Mix them in a bowl with the remaining olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
• Arrange asparagus on a serving platter. Scatter prosciutto crumbs over them and spoon on the eggs.

ROASTED ASPARAGUS AND PROSCIUTTO

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
• If the asparagus are thick, peel them halfway up the stalks. Cut off and discard the bottom third of the asparagus. Place the asparagus in a single layer on a sheet pan, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Roast for 10 minutes, until the stalks are just tender. Meanwhile, place the prosciutto in a single layer on another sheet pan and roast in the same oven for 5 minutes.
• Melt the butter in a medium (10-inch) saute pan over medium heat and wait until the bubbles almost subside. Crack the eggs into the skillet, keeping them separate, if possible. Sprinkle the eggs generously with salt and pepper and cook over medium heat until the whites are cooked but the yolks are still runny. Don't turn them over!
• Arrange the asparagus on 3 plates. Place 2 slices of prosciutto on top of each pile, drizzle with hollandaise, and place a fried egg on top of the prosciutto. Serve hot.
• Place the egg yolks, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper in the jar of a blender and process on low for 15 seconds. Melt the butter in a small saucepan until it is sizzling hot. Remove the small clear insert in the top of the blender. With the blender on low, slowly add the hot butter to the egg and lemon mixture and blend for 30 seconds, until the sauce is very thick. Use immediately.
