Instructions
Follow these straightforward steps to create your Prosciutto Egg Panini:
1. Prepare the Ingredients: Gather all your ingredients on a clean surface for easy access.
2. Preheat Pan: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add olive oil or butter.
3. Cook Eggs: In a bowl, crack the eggs and whisk with a pinch of salt and pepper. Pour the mixture into the heated pan and scramble until they reach your preferred consistency (soft or firm).
4. Toast the Bread: While the eggs are cooking, slice your bread, and if desired, lightly toast it in another pan or toaster until golden brown.
5. Assemble the Panini: On the bottom half of each slice of bread, layer the prosciutto and scrambled eggs. Top with cheese slices.
6. Add Greens: If using, add fresh spinach or arugula for added freshness on top of the cheese.
7. Close the Sandwich: Place the other half of the bread on top.
8. Grill the Panini: Carefully place the assembled panini in the preheated skillet. Grill for about 3-5 minutes on each side, pressing down with a spatula until the cheese is melted and the bread is crispy.
9. Check for Doneness: Once both sides are golden brown and the cheese has melted, remove from heat.
10. Slice and Serve: Cut the panini in half and serve warm.
Following these steps will result in beautifully toasted Prosciutto Egg Panini with deliciously gooey cheese and perfectly cooked eggs.
