Recipe For Poached Egg and Prosciutto Sandwich

Ingredients

2 thin slices of prosciutto
2 eggs
2 English muffins, split in half and toasted
2 tablespoons strawberry-lemon or other citrus marmalade
2 green onions, white parts removed, finely chopped

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. Fold each slice of prosciutto in half and place it directly on a baking sheet. Bake for 5 to 10 minutes, or until prosciutto reaches desired crispness.
3. Meanwhile, poach the eggs: fill a large skillet halfway with water and bring to a simmer. One at a time, crack each egg into a small cup, then carefully slide egg into the water using the cup. Simmer, uncovered, 3 to 4 minutes, until whites are set and yolks just start to thicken.
4. Lay the toasted English muffin halves on a plate and spread marmalade on the top half of each.
5. On the bottom half, place the crisped prosciutto and top with the poached egg. Sprinkle one chopped green onion over the egg, and place the marmalade-covered muffin half on top to serve.

Makes 2 sandwiches.
