Let’s Make it together

Prepare Your Ingredients: Start by gathering everything on your kitchen counter. Chop fresh herbs and slice your sourdough bread into thick pieces—aim for about one-inch slices.

Fry That Egg!: Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Crack an egg gently into the pan and fry until the edges are crispy and the yolk remains runny—about 3-4 minutes works perfectly.

Toast Your Sourdough: While your egg is frying, toast your bread until it’s golden brown. A toaster works well here or you can use another skillet for extra flavor.

Assemble Your Toast: Spread generous portions of burrata over each slice of toast while it’s still warm. Layer on crispy prosciutto before topping with that glorious fried egg.

Add Finishing Touches: Sprinkle fresh herbs over everything along with a pinch of salt and pepper. Drizzle more olive oil if you’re feeling adventurous!

Dive In!: Grab a fork and knife (and maybe some napkins) because it’s time to indulge! Cut through that yolk and watch it create magic all over your toast.

Now you’re ready to enjoy Fried Egg Yolk, Burrata and Prosciutto Toast like never before! Each bite delivers an explosion of flavor that will make you question why you haven’t made this sooner. Happy cooking!
