6 English muffins, split
6 slices fontina cheese
1 tablespoon salted butter
6 large eggs
Kosher salt and black pepper, to taste
12 slices tomatoes
340g thinly sliced prosciutto
2 cups baby arugula
1/3 cup mayonnaise
Instructions
For the potatoes: Place a baking sheet on the bottom oven rack and preheat to 450˚. Combine the potatoes and onion in a large bowl. Drizzle with the olive oil and sprinkle with the paprika, salt, garlic powder and a generous amount of black pepper. Toss well.
Spread the potato mixture on the hot baking sheet and roast, tossing halfway through, until the potatoes are nicely browned and crispy, 20 to 25 minutes.
Meanwhile, for the sandwiches: Put the English muffins on a second baking sheet and bake on the top oven rack until lightly toasted, about 4 minutes. Remove the muffin tops and lay a piece of cheese on each of the muffin bottoms. Return to the oven to melt the cheese, 1 to 2 minutes.
Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat, add the butter and let melt. Crack the eggs into the skillet and season with salt and pepper. Cover the skillet and cook until the eggs are done to your liking, about 4 minutes for set whites with runny yolks.
To assemble, use a spatula or a round biscuit cutter to cut the eggs into 6 portions. Top each muffin bottom with 2 tomato slices, some prosciutto, an egg and some arugula. Spread the muffin tops with the mayonnaise and close the sandwiches. Serve with the potatoes.
To prepare this yummy sandwich, peel and slice the onion and cucumber in a round shape. Wash the tomatoes and cut round slices of it as well.
Next, wash and chop the coriander and mint leaves to prepare the green chutney for the sandwich. Add them along with green chilies and salt in a mixer jar and blend to a smooth paste, and try not to add too much water. The consistency of the chutney should be thick.
Trim the bread from all sides or you can keep it if you wish and apply butter on one bread, then apply the green chutney all over. Next, place the cucumber, tomato, onion slices over the bread slice along with the potato slice. Sprinkle salt over the veggies along with chaat masala. Lastly, add the grated cheese and cover this slice with the other slice.
Grill the sandwich for around 2-3 minutes. Once done, cut into pieces and serve hot. Do try this recipe, rate it and let us know in the comments how it turned out to be.
