Preparation

  1. 1

    Toast the English Muffins

    Split the English muffins in half and toast them until golden brown.

    Prepare the Prosciutto

    In a skillet over medium heat, add the smoked prosciutto slices and cook until crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.

Cooking

    On the bottom half of each toasted English muffin, layer 2 slices of cotto ham, 1 slice of fontina cheese, and a tablespoon of pesto. Top each with a fried egg and the crispy prosciutto.

    Place the top half of the English muffin on the sandwich and press down lightly.
