Pimento Prosciutto Eggs Very Classy Easy Appy Food

PALEO PROSCIUTTO EGG CUPS

Steps:

• Position an oven rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 400 degrees F.
• Brush 6 standard muffin cups with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil; the oil will pool on the bottom of the cups, but that's okay. Line each cup with a slice of prosciutto, folding and overlapping so that the entire surface of the cup is covered and no metal is peeking through. Crack 1 egg into each prosciutto cup and top each egg with a tomato wedge. Reserve the remaining tomato wedges for serving.
• Bake until the egg whites are set and wobble only slightly, 8 to 10 minutes (the eggs will continue to cook after they come out). Let cool 5 minutes, then use an offset spatula to loosen the prosciutto from the edges of each cup and lift onto a plate for serving.
• Mix the basil, walnuts, red pepper flakes and garlic with the remaining olive oil in a small bowl to combine. Serve over the egg cups and remaining tomato wedges.

PIMENTO DEVILED EGGS

• Slice the hard-boiled eggs in half. Pop the yolks with a small spoon into the bowl of a food processor, then add the Cheddar, sour cream, cream cheese, mayonnaise, mustard, relish, hot sauce and some salt and pepper. Run the food processor until smooth. Remove the filling to a bowl and fold in the pimientos.
• Transfer the mixture to a piping bag fitted with a large star tip and pipe into the egg whites. Garnish with green onions, a dusting of paprika and crushed butter crackers.

PIMENTO CHEESE STUFFED DEVILED EGGS

• Chill for at least two hours.

EGGS BAKED IN CRISPY PROSCIUTTO BASKETS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375ºF. Lightly grease muffin pan with oil. Place 1 slice of prosciutto in each muffin cup, being sure to fully cover bottom and sides and leaving about a 1/4" overhang on all sides. Spoon 1 heaping Tbsp. cheese into each prosciutto cup. Crack 1 egg into each, being careful not to break yolk. Drizzle 1 tsp. cream over each egg, then top with a pinch of thyme, salt, and pepper.
• Bake until whites have just set, about 15 minutes. Transfer pan to a wire rack and let cool 3 minutes. Run a knife around edges of prosciutto baskets and scoop out of pan. Serve immediately.
