Ingredients

• 8 3/4-inch-thick slices ciabatta bread
• 2 tbsp. olive oil
• 1 garlic clove, smashed and peeled
• 8 very thin slices prosciutto
• 2 tsp white vine vinegar
• 8 large eggs
• Small hunk Parmesan
• Kosher salt and black pepper

Directions

1. Preheat the broiler.

2. For the toasts, place the bread slices on a rimmed sheet pan and brush both sides with the oil. Broil until toasted, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Rub the garlic over the tops of the toasts.

3. To crisp the prosciutto, place a large skillet over medium heat. Cooking in two batches, add the prosciutto in a single layer. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes per side, until crisp.

4. Divide the toasts among plates and top with the prosciutto.

5. To poach the eggs, fill a large saucepan three-quarters full with water. Place over high heat and let come to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium so the water simmers gently. Add the vinegar. Crack an egg into a small bowl. Hold the bowl just over the surface of the water and let the egg slide in. Repeat with the remaining eggs. Cook for 3-4 minutes, until the whites are set but the yolks are still soft. Use a slotted spoon to lift the eggs onto a paper towel-lined plate.

6. Place an egg on top of each toast and grate Parmesan over them, as much as you like. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.
