  • INSTRUCTIONS
  • To make the dressing, place anchovy in a mortar and gently crush with a pestle until almost smooth. Add garlic and mustard and grind until well combined. Add lemon juice and oil and whisk until well combined. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Preheat the oven to 180°C. Place the bread slices and prosciutto on separate oven trays. Drizzle the bread slices with the oil. Bake in preheated oven for 6 minutes or until golden brown and crisp. Remove from oven and set aside to cool.
  • Meanwhile, bring a saucepan of water to boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low and add vinegar. Use a wooden spoon to stir water to make a whirlpool. Crack egg into a cup, then slip egg into the centre of the whirlpool. Poach for 1-2 minutes for a soft centre or until cooked to your liking. Transfer to a plate. Repeat with remaining eggs.
  • Cut the lettuce into wedges. Arrange lettuce, croutons, prosciutto and parmesan on serving plates. Drizzle with anchovy dressing. Top with a poached egg and serve immediately.
