Time 25m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
6 large thin slices prosciutto (about 1/3 pound)
6 large eggs
1/2 medium tomato, cut into thin wedges
1/2 cup packed fresh basil leaves, chopped
1/4 cup toasted walnuts, chopped
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 small clove garlic, finely grated

Steps:

Position an oven rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 400 degrees F.
Brush 6 standard muffin cups with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil; the oil 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. Crack 1 egg into each prosciutto cup and top each egg with a tomato wedge. Reserve the remaining tomato wedges for serving.
Bake until the egg whites are set and wobble only slightly, 8 to 10 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 lift onto a plate for serving.
Mix the basil, walnuts, red pepper flakes and garlic with the remaining olive oil in a small bowl to combine. Serve over the egg cups and remaining tomato wedges.

Tips:

For the crunchier prosciutto cups, pre-bake the prosciutto cups prior to filling and baking.
For a softer cup, use a lower oven temperature and bake for a shorter amount of time.
To prevent the eggs from overcooking, watch them closely in the oven and remove them as soon as they are set.
If you don't have a muffin tin, you can also bake the prosciutto cups in a baking dish.
For a fancier presentation, garnish the prosciutto egg cups with fresh herbs, such as chives, parsley, or dill.

Conclusion:

Prosciutto egg cups are a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or brunch recipe that is perfect for any occasion. They are also a great way to use up leftover prosciutto. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a tasty and satisfying meal that the whole family will enjoy.
