Prosciutto Egg Cups Recipe

At Ajpal, I add lots of tips in all of my recipes – because I am a home cook without any formal training, and I find I am more confident making dishes when I understand why it works, and what each ingredient means to the flavor of a recipe. My goal is for even the most beginner home cook to feel empowered in the kitchen.

Delicious Ham Egg Cups

If you’re looking for a quick, easy, and delicious breakfast that is loaded with flavor – but doesn’t take much work and isn’t loaded with carbs – this is it!

Just like our 4 Ingredient Keto Jalapeno Cheese Bread, Easy Keto Everything Bagels, and Easy Keto Ham and Cheese Rolls – these tasty baked eggs are loaded with flavor, not grains and sugars.

This easy and delicious recipe will fill you up – without breaking the carb bank.

We hope you love this recipe as much as we do!

How To Make Prosciutto Egg Cups

Add prosciutto to nonstick muffin baking pan (you can also give a quick blast with some nonstick cooking spray).

If you want extra crispy prosciutto, and a runny egg, you can pre-bake the prosciutto for 5-10 minutes before adding egg.

You can also pick other toppings to make your egg cups even more delicious:

  • Diced onions
  • Jalapenos
  • Diced tomatoes
  • Shredded cheese
  • Kale
  • Avocado
  • Sliced olives
  • Red pepper strips
  • Green chile

Mix and match different toppings – we love a little cheese on top, or some diced peppers!

Just be sure to watch the carb count for any toppings you might add.

How To Bake Prosciutto Egg Cups

Baking your egg cups is really as easy as adding eggs and vegetables into the folded prosciutto and popping into the oven.

To get a perfect egg, use our handy table to find the cook time best for you:

  • 8 minutes for a runny yolk
  • 12 minutes for a firmer yolk
  • 15+ minutes for a firm yolk

Once your eggs have baked, you can top them with cilantro, dill, chives, parsley, or other fresh diced herbs!

The recipe

Prosciutto Egg Cups Recipe

Savory prosciutto cradles a tender egg, creating a harmonious blend of rich and salty flavors in every bite.

  • Serves 6
  • Prep 5 minutes
  • Cook 10 minutes
  • Total 15 minutes

Ingredients

  • 6 slices prosciutto
  • 6 eggs
  • ¼ cup spinach
  • salt and pepper (to taste)
  • fresh diced dill (to garnish)

Method

  1. 1

    Lay prosciutto in lightly greased muffin tin, forming a cup like a muffin liner.

  2. 2

    Add a few leaves of spinach into the bottom of the inside of the prosciutto cup.

  3. 3

    Add one egg to each cup.

  4. 4

    Season with salt and pepper.

  5. 5

    Bake at 375 for 8 minutes.

  6. 6

    Check yolk – at 8 minutes the egg white should have set and the yolk should be still a little runny. Remove from oven to serve, or cook until yolk is set if you prefer it harder.

  7. 7

    Garnish with fresh dill.
