Bring eggs to a boil over high heat. Remove from heat and let stand for 15 minutes. Drain eggs and transfer to a bowl of ice water and let cool completely. If making ahead store eggs IN WATER in refrigerator. Peel eggs and cut in half. Scoop out the yolks and reserve the egg whites. Mash yolks with fork until very fine crumbles.

Spoon yolk mixture into reserved egg whites. Break prosciutto into shards and decorate with one shard and one parsley leaf per egg.
