Recipe by Dragon
I made these eggs as a treat for my lazy Sunday morning breakfast. I served them with some tomatoes, cucumbers, buttered multigrain toast and a frothy cappuccino. It was a delicious way to start the day! All though, I think this breakfast would be great as a quick brunch or lunch or snack or early dinner or late dinner or midnight snack. : ) Enjoy!
Makes: 2
Ingredients:4 slices Prosciutto
4 eggs
1 teaspoon oregano, finely chopped
1 teaspoon shallot, very finely chopped
1 teaspoon butter, cold and cut into 4 pieces
Salt and Pepper to taste
3 tablespoons Gruyere cheese, shredded
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375.
2. Line two large muffin cups with 2 slices each of Prosciutto. Make sure that the sides and bottoms are covered. Let the excess Prosciutto hang over the sides.
3. In each cup, crack 2 eggs. Top each egg with 1/2 of the oregano, shallot and butter.
4. Add a little salt and pepper and then top each egg with 1/2 the shredded gruyere cheese.
5. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the eggs are set but still runny and the Prosciutto is crispy.
6. To remove each cup from the muffin tin, use a small spatula to loosen the Prosciutto and transfer to a plate.

Looks so very colourful! tempting pic!
Eggs in Prosciutto Cups is an okay name, but you know what would be much better?
Piggy-Cups! These would be Piggy-Cups with Egg, but you could also have Piggy-Cups with stuffing, Piggy-Cups with Spuds, or Piggy-Cups with Beans!
I could go for one of those for breakfast this morning!
This looks great, I happen to have a big package of prosciutto in the fridge, so I'll be trying this soon.
I love this! I think I'm a sucker for all edible plate type contraptions--ice cream cones, soup in bread bowls, etc--but a pig-based bowl? I'm a very happy camper
Great eggs for a lovely breakfast...abraço
That pic looks awesome. I can see the crispiness of the prosciutto just creep in and out. I love how your lazy breakfast blows my 'nice' breakfast away :)
This is a great idea! It's picture perfect as well! It beats the heck out of my oatmeal!! LOL!
Why don't you scramble the eggs?
This looks so great - What time is breakfast served!! YUM
That really does sound like a fantastic Sunday breakfast.
And I love these little "all in one" breakfast ideas. They make for great take-alongs during the week!
Oh my stars this sound delicious! I love the idea of this for a Sunday morning meal! Thank you!
Wow! I am in love with this! How perfectly yummy. I think I would prefer it for lunch or dinner or brunch of course. So glad I found this.

adam: What did you have for breakfast.
bunny: Thanks!
david: I didn't scramble the eggs because I like having them a little runny. It's perfect for dipping with some bread.
cathy: On the weekends, if I'm lucky, breakfast is served at 10am. :)
lo: Thanks!
noble: Thanks!
nicole: I'm glad you found it as well. :)
We had these for brunch this morning, atop a bed of mache. Yum! I love it when I can put together something pretty without rushing to the grocery store. Thanks for sharing!
That was heaven - and so easy! I bought prosciutto yesterday, and wanted to use it for brunch today, but hadn't decided what to do with it. What I really wanted was to be able to wrap it around an egg - but I figured that wasn't possible. Wrong! Now I know how.
