Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 45m

Yield 3 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
6 large thin slices prosciutto (about 1/3 pound)
1/3 cup shredded mozzarella
1/4 cup grated Parmesan
1/4 cup packed baby spinach leaves, chopped
1/4 cup roasted red peppers, chopped
6 large eggs
1/4 cup heavy cream
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Position an oven rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 400 degrees F.
  • Brush 6 standard muffin cups with the butter (the butter will pool on the bottom of the cups, but that's okay). Line each cup with a slice of prosciutto, folding and overlapping so that the entire surface of the cup is covered and no metal is peeking through. Divide the mozzarella evenly among the cups. Repeat with the Parmesan, spinach and roasted red pepper.
  • Whisk the eggs and cream in a large measuring cup or small pitcher; add some salt and a few grinds of pepper. Pour the egg mixture in each cup, making sure not to overfill.
  • Bake until the eggs are set and wobble only slightly, 10 to 12 minutes (the eggs will continue to cook after they come out). Let cool 5 minutes, then use an offset spatula to loosen the prosciutto from the edges of each cup and transfer to a plate for serving.

SCRAMBLED EGGS IN A CUP



Scrambled Eggs in a Cup image

My grandmother passed down this recipe after I had my son. This was one of his very first foods. Its easy to make, easy to clean up and easy to feed. Even the pickiest of toddlers will devour this simple easily digestible meal. After 10 years my son still asks for his eggs to be made this way and can even make them himself. It is still his favorite way to eat his eggs :) Also makes a quick on the go breakfast you can eat in your car. For adults add salt and pepper with your favorite cheese, spices or ketchup.
