Ingredients

Method

1.Use a dressmaking pin to make a small hole in the rounded part of each egg. Carefully lower eggs into a pan of bubbling water and cook at a gentle boil for 7 minutes. Drain, then let the cold tap run over them until they feel cool.
2.Brush bread lightly with olive oil, then grill over a barbecue grill or in a ridged grill pan. Rub with garlic, then arrange on plates (cut slices in half if they are too big for the plates).
3.Heat a large frying pan over medium heat and add butter. Break each slice of ham into 5-6 pieces, add to pan and let them sizzle and brown. Distribute ham over bread. Return pan to heat and add artichokes. Cook artichokes for 2-3 minutes until sizzling and golden, then spoon on top of the ham.
4.Shell eggs and slice. Add rocket to bread and splash with sherry vinegar. Top with sliced egg, season with plenty of freshly ground black pepper and a little sea salt and sprinkle with parsley. Serve.
