FRIED EGG & HAM OPEN FACE SANDWICH WITH ARUGULA

Steps:

• 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.
