Fried eggs and crisp salami make happy partners, particularly layered on grilled ciabatta – it’s an ideal weekend breakfast, but would be just as good for lunch, dinner or a late-night snack.

Ingredients

40 ml olive oil

16 slices flat sopressa

8 eggs

Toasted ciabatta and aïoli, to serve

Fried herb sauce

125 ml olive oil (½ cup)

2 tbsp sage

2 tbsp rosemary

2 tbsp thyme

¼ cup finely chopped flat-leaf parsley

1 tbsp lemon juice

1 tbsp red wine vinegar

1 garlic clove, finely chopped

Method

Main

1.For fried herb sauce, heat oil in a small saucepan over medium-high heat until shimmering, add sage and fry for 20 seconds until crisp, remove with a slotted spoon, then repeat with rosemary and thyme. Set oil aside to cool, then chop fried herbs and combine in a bowl with parsley, lemon juice, vinegar and garlic. Season to taste, then stir in enough cooled oil to form a drizzling consistency.

2.Heat oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat, add sopressa and fry, turning occasionally, until crisp (1-2 minutes). Drain on paper towels. Reduce heat to medium and fry eggs in batches until cooked to your liking (2-3 minutes for soft yolks), then drain on paper towels.

3.Spread toasted ciabatta with aïoli, top with salami and fried eggs, season to taste and serve hot with fried herb sauce.
