Arugula Salad with Crispy Proscuitto, Parmesan and Fried Eggs
Description
The Arugula Salad with Crispy Prosciutto, Parmesan, and Fried Eggs highlights a mix of bold and delicate flavors. Baby arugula offers a peppery green base, complemented by prosciutto baked until crisp for a salty crunch. Shaved Parmesan adds nutty richness. The fried eggs, cooked until whites are set but yolks remain runny, lend creaminess when broken over the salad.
A dressing composed of minced shallot, Dijon mustard, sherry vinegar, honey, olive oil, and fresh cracked black pepper adds layers of tanginess, mild heat, and light sweetness, balancing the savory elements. The salad is tossed in this dressing to lightly coat and merge flavors.
This dish works well as a hearty salad for lunch or a light dinner that combines vegetable freshness, savory meatiness, and rich protein. The components provide a harmonious combination of textures and flavors that elevate a simple salad into an elegant meal option.

- 2 ounces prosciutto 4 slices, sliced
- 2 tbsp shallot minced
- 5 cups arugula baby
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1/4 cup Parmesan Cheese shaved
- 1 tbsp sherry vinegar
- olive oil spray form
- 2 tsp Dijon mustard
- 2 egg large
- 1/4 tsp honey
- black pepper to taste, fresh
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Arrange the proscuitto on the prepared baking sheet and bake 15 minutes or until lightly browned and crisp. Crumble into large pieces.
- Meanwhile, whisk the dressing ingredients in a large bowl. Add the arugula and toss well. Divide on two plates and top with crumbled proscuitto and parmesan.
- To cook the eggs heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-low heat, spray with oil and gently break the eggs.
