Blanch the tomatoes: Bring a pot of water to a boil. Cut a small 'X' on the bottom of each tomato. Submerge the tomatoes in boiling water for 30 seconds, then transfer them to an ice water bath.
Peel the tomatoes once cooled, then quarter them and remove as many seeds as possible.
In a blender, combine the peeled tomatoes, almonds, and peeled garlic clove. Blend until you achieve a smooth consistency.
With the blender running, slowly add the olive oil until fully incorporated and the mixture has a creamy texture.
Add the apple cider vinegar, sea salt, and black pepper. Blend for another 30 seconds to combine.
Chill the salmorejo in the refrigerator for at least one hour before serving.
Before serving, peel and finely chop the hard-boiled eggs.
Crisp the prosciutto in a non-stick skillet over medium heat until it becomes crispy. Let cool and crumble.
Serve the chilled salmorejo in bowls, garnished with chopped eggs and crumbled prosciutto.
