Prosciutto and Egg Cups

We just got some prosciutto yesterday, which I was very excited about because I haven't had prosciutto in months! I know, I'm ridiculous. Anyway, I didn't feel like making my usual eggs benedict (very delicious with this meat product), so I decided to mix it up a little bit. I did this two different ways: I made one set with just an egg. The other set, I sauteed some mushrooms and onions together and made it almost quiche-like. You decide which one you like better.

Need:
prosciutto slices
eggs

chopped mushrooms
chopped onions

 

Very lightly oil your muffin pan, then layer a slice of prosciutto into the cup.

 

The right one has the sauteed mushroom and onion, the left one has the egg on top of the mushroom and onion (whisk egg). The middle is just the egg. Bake at 350° for 15 minutes.

 

I made a parsley pesto while I was waiting for the eggs to cook (Parsley, parmesan cheese, pine nuts, and olive oil in a food processor). Watch the salt here because the prosciutto is salty enough.

 

After 15 minutes in the oven, these are what they looked like. Perfect.

 

Joe's plate. Some token tomatoes for garnish.

 

My plate with more of the tomato and onion salad (tomato, thinly sliced onion, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, s+p). Gorgeous, huh?
