Ingredients
-
6 Happy Eggs
-
6 slices of prosciutto
-
1 tbsp olive oil
-
1½ tsp Dan-O’s Italian Seasoning
-
¼ cup grated parmesan cheese
-
¼ cup mozzarella cheese
-
¼ cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
-
Fresh basil, for topping
-
2 cups leafy greens
-
Pinch of salt and pepper
-
Flaky sea salt, for garnish
Directions
-
Preheat and Prep: Preheat your oven to 400°F. Grease your muffin tin or individual ramekins with olive oil, butter, or nonstick spray.
-
Make the Prosciutto Cups: Line each muffin tin with a slice of prosciutto, pressing it into the bottom and up the sides to form a cup. Overlap the edges slightly if needed to fully cover. Don’t worry, it doesn’t have to be perfect!
-
Season the Eggs: In a small bowl, whisk together the Dan-O’s Italian Seasoning, a pinch of salt, and pepper.
-
Crack and Assemble: Carefully crack a Happy Egg into each prosciutto cup, taking care not to break the yolk. Sprinkle the seasoning mixture over the top of each egg.
-
Bake, Then Top: Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven, sprinkle with parmesan and mozzarella cheeses, and bake for an additional 3–5 minutes until the cheese melts and the yolks reach your desired doneness. For runny, jammy yolks, pull them out on the earlier side.
-
Cool and Garnish: Let the cups cool slightly, then gently remove them with a spatula or spoon. Top with chopped sun-dried tomatoes and fresh torn basil.
-
Serve with Greens: Serve the prosciutto cups alongside a bed of leafy greens. Drizzle everything with olive oil and sprinkle with flaky sea salt.
Tips
-
For Runny Yolks: Pull the cups out earlier for that luscious, jammy yolk that’s perfect for dipping bread.
-
Make Ahead: Assemble the prosciutto cups and whisk the seasoning mixture the night before for an even quicker morning prep.
-
Use Your Favorite Cheeses: Customize your cheese by swapping out mozzarella for feta or Gruyère to switch up the flavors.
