Parmesan Prosciutto Deviled Eggs Food

PARMESAN PROSCIUTTO DEVILED EGGS

Steps:

• Carefully place the eggs in a medium saucepan and cover with cold water. Cover the pan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Allow to boil for 3-4 minutes. Keeping the pan covered, remove the egg from the heat and allow to rest in the hot water and steam for 20 minutes. Drain and rinse in cold water until lukewarm.
• Meanwhile, slice the prosciutto into pieces that are 1/4″ wide and about 1/2″ long. Cook in a skillet over medium until browned and crispy.
• Whisk the prosciutto into the Parmesan cheese and mayonnaise. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
• When the eggs are cooled, carefully peel them and slice in half lengthwise. Scoop out the yolks and mash them into the mayonnaise.
• Transfer the yolks to a pastry bag fitted with a large tip or a plastic bag with one corner cut out, and pipe the filling into the egg whites. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.

LEMON, PARSLEY, AND PARMESAN PLUS BREAD, PROSCIUTTO, AND EGG

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Slice 1/4 inch off the top of the bread, and hollow out bottom, discarding the crumb (soft interior) of the loaf. Cut top into 1-inch pieces, and set aside.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, zest, milk, parsley, and Parmesan. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Stir in 1/2 cup bread pieces.
• Place hollowed-out bread on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Place prosciutto slices along inside of bread to cover. Slowly pour egg mixture to the brim. Bake until eggs are puffed up and cooked through, 30 to 33 minutes.
• Slice into 2-inch pieces. Serve immediately.

PROSCIUTTO, FRIED EGG, AND PARMESAN ON COUNTRY BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat broiler, with the tray set at the lowest position. Broil the bread on one side until toasted, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove and divide the cheese and prosciutto evenly on the untoasted sides. Return to broiler and cook, open-faced, until the prosciutto is crispy and the cheese has begun to melt, about 1 minute. Turn off broiler, leaving the sandwiches inside to stay warm. In a frying pan, melt 1 tablespoon of the butter, then fry the eggs to the desired doneness. Remove the sandwiches and top each with an egg. Add the remaining butter to the pan and sauté the anchovies and garlic over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, until the garlic begins to soften. Add the spinach and cook until it wilts, then add the lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Spoon over the sandwiches and serve.
• Suggestions for the kids
• Omit the anchovies, garlic, spinach, and lemon juice. Top with another slice of toast before serving. And if the prosciutto and Parmesan are too sharp, replace them with honey-baked ham and white cheddar.
