Ingredients
– Bread of choice (quantity per toast)
– Burrata (one ball per toast or portion)
– Prosciutto (slices to taste)
– Sea salt and pepper (to taste)
– Panko breadcrumbs (quantity sufficient to coat yolks)
– Eggs (1 egg per toast, yolks only)
– Fry oil (amount sufficient for frying)
Instructions
1-Preparing the Crispy Fried Egg Yolks: The secret to achieving that perfect crispy exterior with a liquid, runny center is proper preparation of the egg yolks. Here’s how to do it: 1. Place panko breadcrumbs in a shallow bowl, creating enough to fully coat each yolk. 2. Carefully separate egg yolks from whites. Make a small well in the breadcrumbs and place one yolk inside. 3. Generously cover each yolk with breadcrumbs, patting gently to adhere. Ensure the yolks are completely coated. 4. Transfer the breadcrumb-coated yolks to a tray or plate lined with parchment paper. 5. Freeze the yolks for a minimum of 2 hours. This step is crucial as it helps the yolks maintain their shape during frying.
2-Toasting the Bread: While the yolks are freezing, let’s prepare the toast base: 1. Choose your preferred bread. Sturdy breads like sourdough or ciabatta work best as they hold up well to the toppings. 2. Lightly coat both sides of the bread with olive oil. This helps achieve a golden, crispy finish. 3. Toast the bread in a pan or toaster for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown.
3-Frying the Prepared Yolks: After the yolks have been frozen for at least 2 hours: 1. Heat fry oil in a pan over medium-high heat. The oil should be hot enough that breadcrumbs sizzle when dropped in but not smoking. 2. Carefully place the frozen breadcrumb-coated yolks into the hot oil. Fry for just 1-2 minutes until the coating is golden and crispy. 3. Remove the yolks with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Remember, we want the exterior crunchy while the inside remains perfectly liquid.
4-Assembling Your Toast: Now comes the fun part putting everything together: 1. Start with your toasted bread as the base. 2. Tear the burrata into pieces and arrange it over the toast, allowing some of the creamy interior to spread slightly. 3. Drape prosciutto slices over the burrata. The number of slices depends on your preference and the size of your toast. 4. Carefully place the fried breadcrumb-coated egg yolk on top of the prosciutto. 5. Season with sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste. 6. For an extra flavor boost, consider a light drizzle of truffle oil or a sprinkle of fresh herbs like basil or chives.
