Blue Cheese Omelette and Rosemary Prosciutto Ciabatta Sandwich

An especially luscious sandwich for an especially fun occasion: Anna from Pinterest asked me to join their March Breakfast Campaign with an eat in my kitchen sandwich board on my profile. After 65 creations on the blog dedicated to all the delicious culinary wonders that can possibly happen between two slices of bread, it's time to give the sandwich the attention it deserves.

I started my Pinterest profile around the same time as the blog, in winter 2013, to spark my own inspiration but also to share all my finds from the wide spheres of the web. All the wonderful dishes from all over the world that tickle my taste buds, the kitchen pictures that made me want to remodel parts of my own creative culinary space a couple weeks ago, and the endless great ideas you can find for interior design, fashion, architecture, gardening and traveling. I enjoy the time that I spend on this network as it gives me useful information directly connected to the original creator, that's fantastic! So, if you've followed my Sandwich-Wednesdays over the past 15 months and you're looking for a summary, and some more great recipes from other sandwich lovers, you can take a look at my new Pinterest Sandwich board here!

The celebration of this amazingly easy (most of the time) and highly loved snack called for a voluptuous recipe that combines a few ingredients which almost guarantee a scrumptious result: blue cheese, omelette, rosemary prosciutto and rucola on oily ciabatta bread. The sharp cheese definitely takes the egg to another level, even if you want to leave out the bread, you should try this duo one day. Rosemary prosciutto is my all-time favourite ham, thin slices of the finest Italian art of butchering refined with the woody herb, this is perfection made complete with the slight sweetness of the light and fluffy eggs  and the salty cheese. It can't get any better when it comes to the easy enjoyments at table!

Blue Cheese Omelette and Rosemary Prosciutto Ciabatta Sandwich

For 2 sandwiches you need

• medium ciabatta bread, cut into 2 pieces, 1

• organic eggs 3

• heavy cream 50ml / 1 3/4 ounces

• freshly grated nutmeg

• salt and pepper

• blue cheese, crumbled, 50g / 1 3/4 ounces

• Italian rosemary prosciutto, very thinly slices, 2-4 large slices

• butter 1 tablespoon

• olive oil 1/2-1 teaspoon

• rucola, a small handful

• fresh rosemary, a few sprigs, for the topping

• black peppercorns, crushed in a mortar, for the topping

Whisk the eggs, cream, nutmeg, salt and pepper. Heat the butter in a pan and pour in the egg mixture, scramble very lightly and fold onto itself. When the bottom side starts to become golden flip it around. Brown it lightly from the other side for about a minute. Take the pan off the heat and sprinkle the blue cheese on top of the warm omelette.

Cut the ciabatta pieces in half and brush each bottom half with a little olive oil, lay a few rucola leaves on top. Divide the blue cheese omelette in half when the cheese starts to melt and lay on top of the green leaves. Sprinkle with a few rosemary needles and pepper and cover with the rosemary prosciutto. Close the sandwich and enjoy!
