24 slices/

2 loaves

Garlic, chopped - 3 Tbsp.
Olive oil 6 oz. 3/4 cup

DIRECTIONS

  • Prepare bruschetta: blend garlic and olive oil in blender or food processor until almost smooth. Brush oil on bread slices. Toast bread.
  • Top each bread slice with 1 tablespoon finely chopped tomato and 1 tablespoon Asiago cheese. Keep warm.
  • For each serving, melt 1 teaspoon butter in 8-inch nonstick pan. Add 2 eggs and cook, over medium heat, just until edges begin to brown and bubble.
  • Flip eggs over and cook an additional 2 to 3 minutes until whites are set (completely coagulated and firm) and the yolks begin to thicken (no longer runny, but not hard).
  • Place bruschetta under broiler just to melt cheese.
  • To serve, lay prosciutto slices on plates. Slide eggs onto prosciutto.
  • Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon sage, 1 tablespoon Asiago cheese, and ground pepper to taste. Add 2 bruschetta slices. Garnish with sage sprig tied with lemon peel strips. Serve immediately.
