Baked Eggs in Prosciutto Cups

Baked eggs in prosciutto cups is our new favorite breakfast.

The prosciutto crisps and creates the perfect shell to hold the runny eggs. If you prefer fully-cooked eggs, you can whisk the eggs together before pouring them into the muffin pan.

My Recipes My Lists My Calendar

Ingredients

8 slices proscuitto (my slices were about 6" x 3")
8 teaspoons chopped leeks
8 teaspoons grated raw cheddar cheese (omit for Paleo or dairy free)
8 large eggs

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375ºF and adjust rack to middle position.
Tear each piece of proscuitto in half and place pieces in an oiled muffin tin. (I used kitchen shears to cut the meat into small pieces, making sure each part of the muffin cup was covered with meat).
Place 1 teaspoon chopped leeks, 1 teaspoon cheddar and crack one egg into muffin cup.
Repeat with remaining ingredients.
Bake for 15 minutes.
Let cool for 3 minutes.
Run a large spoon around the edge of each muffin cup and scoop it out of the pan (it should remain intact).
Serve.

Eggs are my favorite thing to eat for breakfast -- I always feel the best after eating them as opposed to other choices. I especially love them paired with a small bite of salty pork. These look perfect!

YUM! I just made these for lunch. I didn't have the exact ingredients so I improvised. Diced canadian bacon, shredded cheese, and the eggs. I loved using the muffin tins to put them all together. I cooked the canadian bacon a little while the oven was heating up, then added the cheese and eggs. It worked perfectly! I've been dying for a new recipe for eggs, this one has given me a new outlook. Thanks Carrie, you're amazing :o)

Baked eggs are one of my favorite breakfasts. I have never tried the prosciutto cup approach before, but I am definitely inspired!

Sounds delicious! For those who are vegetarians, what would you recommend replacing the prosciutto with?

  You could try using muffin liners. I haven't tested it, but it should work just fine. I would sprinkle some salt on top after baking to add a bit more flavor. (A good hot sauce would be nice too!) :)

  Try using diced veggies, I made something similar on the SB diet. Diced green onion, bell peppers-red, yellow, orange - spinach, zucchini toss it all together fill the tins about half way. I used coconut oil to grease the muffin tins, they popped right out! I actually put the veggies in the tins and put it in the oven while it's heating up, it allowed them to get a little tender, then I cracked the eggs on top and baked.

I've never tried baked eggs but these look so good. And I do love eggs. If I don't eat meat can I do the same thing without the prosciutto?

I could not find prosciutto in my local grocery store that did not have a lot of questionable ingredients so I stuck with the Applegate Farms bacon and scrambled the eggs. Left out the cheese also. They were great. Thanks for a wonderful recipe.

I whisked the eggs because I don't do runny yolks, but seriously, this is my new all-time favorite breakfast. My house smelled amazing while these were baking, and they freeze well for breakfast on the go all week.

Hello! I was wondering if this recipe would work minus cheese. I'm dairy-free as well as gluten-free, but I still think these would be delicious so long as they cook right. Will I be okay?

  These should work just fine without the cheese. You could add a little extra green onion or maybe some finely chopped spinach in place of the cheese.

These are a family FAVORITE around here. I didn't have the exact ingredients so I threw some mozzarella, tomato, and basil in instead (yum!). Almost ran out of room for the egg (got a little carried away with the tomato) so I whisked a couple eggs and poured them over to top off the muffin tins. They came our fantastic. So fantastic I was wondering how well they would freeze(?) if I made a large batch of them to keep for hectic morning before work. Any thoughts on this??

  That's a great idea! I would reheat them in the oven at 300 degrees for about 15 minutes or so. If you give it a try, let me know how it goes!

This looks awesome, thanks! Can't wait to try it. Does the prosciutto get crispy all over? Or just on the ends that are visible?

  The bottom gets firm, but not crispy and the ends are crispy. I tested it a few times with bacon and it was just too soggy, so the thin prosciutto is a perfect fit!

Where do you get prosciutto? Forgive me, but this is a type of ham, right?

  Yes, it's a type of ham. You can usually find it in the deli section. While it's expensive per pound, these thin slices don't weigh much. :)

  I would refrigerate and then reheat in the oven. I'm not sure if these would freeze well as I've never tried it, but if you want to freeze them, I'd leave them in the muffin tin, freeze, thaw and then reheat in the oven.
