Level: Easy
Total: 45 min
Active: 30 min
Yield: 3 servings

Ingredients

  1. 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  2. 6 large thin slices prosciutto (about 1/3 pound)
  3. 1/3 cup shredded mozzarella
  4. 1/4 cup grated Parmesan
  5. 1/4 cup packed baby spinach leaves, chopped
  6. 1/4 cup roasted red peppers, chopped
  7. 6 large eggs
  8. 1/4 cup heavy cream
  9. Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Position an oven rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 400 degrees F.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.

Delicious easy and healthy I used turkey sausage and feta eliminated prosciutto and other cheeses.
Ms. Donna Reynolds
easy, tasty, great for making to take to work for breakfast.
Tracy Robles
Really good and easy. Used the silicone cupcake holder but still covered them in butter. Everything is better with butter!
Felicia Martinez
Excellent egg cups! Prosciutto does make it salty, I used honey ham which was a good balance. Will put this in the save pile for sure!
Heidi Brown
It is good. Prefer without the prosciutto…too salty. I’ve made it with and without other meat though and we all love it!
Alejandro Blanchard
Very good! I did not add the salt and it was perfect. I did not have spinach so I finely chopped brussel sprouts and garlic. I also ran out of the prosciutto so I substituted ham. This is a recipe you can be very creative with. A new staple at my house.
Gregory Benitez
Very good but I would not add the kosher salt as the prosciutto is enough salty flavor
Sandra West DVM
Delicious. Can change up with mushrooms, sausage & different cheeses & herbs. Great on the go breakfast. 
Nicholas Harper
