Ingredients
  

  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 ripe but firm avocados
  • 6 slices prosciutto
  • 2 teaspoons (10 mL / 0.3 fl oz) olive oil
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
  • Fresh tomato slices, for serving
  • Use avocados that are ripe but still firm to the touch. Overly soft avocados will not hold their shape during cooking.
  • For a jammy, softer yolk, reduce the egg's standing time in hot water to 6-7 minutes.
  • Ensure the skillet is preheated before adding the wrapped avocados to get the best crispy texture on the prosciutto.
  • Secure the prosciutto with a toothpick if it has trouble staying wrapped, but remember to remove it before serving.

Method
 

  1. Directions1.
  2. Place eggs in a saucepan, cover with cold water, and bring to a boil.
  3. Remove from heat, cover, and let stand for 10 minutes for hard-boiled.
  4. Transfer to an ice bath to cool completely, then peel and slice in half. 2.
  5. While the eggs cook, slice the avocados in half and remove the pits.
  6. Place one egg half, yolk-side down, into each avocado cavity.
  7. Season lightly with salt and pepper. 3. Tightly wrap each stuffed avocado half with prosciutto, using 1-2 slices per half to ensure it's fully encased. 4.
  8. Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Carefully place the wrapped avocados in the pan and cook for 8-10 minutes, turning every few minutes, until the prosciutto is golden brown and crispy on all sides. 5.
  9. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  10. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately with tomato slices.
