Ingredients

  • 1 loaf ciabatta
  • 2 tablespoons canola oil or 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • salt and pepper
  • 12 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • salt & freshly ground black pepper
  • 14 cup canola oil or 14 cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh chives
  • 14 lb arugula, washed and dried
  • 1 tablespoon canola oil or 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 8 slices country ham or 8 slices prosciutto
  • 4 large eggs

Method

  • Cut off the both long ends of ciabatta and slice in half lengthwise.
  • Use the bottom half only and reserve the top half for later use.
  • Brush the cut side of the bottom half of the bread with 2 tablespoons of the oil and season with salt and pepper.
  • Grill on a grill pan, oil-side down, over high heat until lightly golden brown, about 20 seconds; or place the bread on a sheet pan, oil-side up and toast under the broiler until lightly golden brown, about 45-60 seconds.
  • Whisk together lemon juice, zest, dijon mustard, mayonnaise, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a medium bowl.
  • Whisk in the 1/4 C canola oil or olive oil until combined.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of canola in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Add the ham and cook about 1 minute.
  • Gently crack the eggs onto the ham, season with salt and pepper and cover.
  • Cook until the white is set and the yellow is slightly firm, about 2 to 4 minutes.
  • The yolk should still be slightly runny.
  • Place the toasted bread on a flat surface and spread with a few tablespoons of the dressing over the surface.
  • Slide the cooked ham and egg over the ciabatta and top with the arugula.
  • Drizzle with more of the lemon-chive dressing and serve immediately.
  • Cut 4 slices.
