Cookware
chef's knife · colander · cutting board · measuring spoons · mixing bowls · nonstick skillet · spatula · stirring spoon · tongs · whisk or fork
Directions
- Warm a skillet over medium-high heat.
- Cube the bread and toss with a little oil and the listed spices in a bowl, then set aside.
- Toast the bread cubes in the hot skillet until they are golden and dry, about 3–4 minutes, then transfer back to the bowl.
- Whisk together oil, white wine vinegar, honey, salt, and pepper in another bowl to make the dressing, and set aside.
- Return the skillet to heat and add a bit of oil to coat the bottom. Crack in the eggs and cook until the whites are set and the yolks are still runny, about 4 minutes.
- Meanwhile, trim and thinly slice the radishes and add them to the dressing bowl to marinate briefly.
- Rinse and dry the arugula and add it to the marinating radishes.
- Cut the cheddar into small dice and mix into the salad along with the croutons.
- Tear or chop the prosciutto into bite-sized pieces and arrange on top of the plated salad with the eggs.
- Divide the salad between plates, then top with prosciutto and eggs and serve on plates or bowls.
Two tips
- Make the croutons and whisk the dressing up to a day ahead and refrigerate separately.
- If you prefer, substitute extra arugula for prosciutto or use a different protein from the pantry you have on hand.
