Baked Eggs & Prosciutto

Prep Time5 minutes
Cook Time15 minutes
Total Time20 minutes
Course: Breakfast
Cuisine: American, Italian
Keywords: breakfast, brunch, eggs
Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • 4-8 eggs (depending on ramekin size)
  • 4-8 slices of prosciutto (depending on ramekin size)
  • 4 large basil leaves extra for garnish (optional)
  • butter
  • olive oil
  • salt and pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  • Lightly butter 4 ramekins. Line the bottom and sides of each with 1-2 slices of prosciutto. You may need to break them in pieces to get them to fit.
  • Place 2 large pieces of basil on top of prosciutto in each ramekin.
  • Crack 2 large eggs in each ramekin. If you are using smaller ramekins, you can only use 1 egg in each. Season with salt and pepper. Since prosciutto is naturally salty you may want to go light on the salt.
  • Bake eggs for approximately 12 minutes or until egg whites set.
  • Drizzle with olive oil and garnish with torn basil. Serve with toast or crusty bread.

Notes

  • Thinly sliced ham can be used in place of prosciutto.
  • Eggs can be topped with freshly grated Parmesan once pulled from the oven.
