    Servings and Ingredients

    Ingredients
    Serves 4
    QuantityIngredientAdd
    4 (3/4-inch each) slices French bread
    1 tbsp. Hy-Vee Select olive oil
    4 (1/3-inch each) slices fresh mozzarella
    4 Hy-Vee large eggs
    1 tsp. Hy-Vee white vinegar
    ¼ tsp. Hy-Vee salt
    8 thin tomato slices
    8 thin slices La Quercia prosciutto
    8 fresh basil leaves
    Freshly ground Hy-Vee black pepper
    Sea salt

    Directions

    1. Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat or preheat broiler. Brush each side of bread with olive oil, and toast the bread. Reduce the heat and place a slice of mozzarella on each slice of bread. Place bread in a pie pan and tent with foil.
    2. In a large skillet bring 2 to 3 inches of water to a boil. Add vinegar and 1/4 teapsoon salt; reduce heat to low.
    3. Break 1 egg at a time into water, being careful not to break the yolk. Cook 5 minutes or until whites set and a thin translucent film forms over the yolk. (For a firmer yolk, cook an additional minute).
    4. Use a slotted spoon to lift eggs out of water and place on paper towel to drain. Cover loosely with foil to keep warm.
    5. Place a slice of French bread on each plate and top with 2 slices tomato, poached egg, prosciutto, basil, pepper and salt
