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.

CRISPY PROSCIUTTO CUPS WITH PEAR

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Cut prosciutto into 24 two-inch squares. Place one square (overlapping any tears) in each cup of a mini cupcake tin. Bake until fat turns golden, about 15 minutes. Using a fork, immediately transfer to a paper towel to drain; cool completely. In a small bowl, combine pear and juice. Place 1/2 teaspoon mixture in each cup just before serving.

PROSCIUTTO CUPS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350.
• In a medium bowl, mix the garlic, spinach, and ricotta until well blended. Set aside.
• Place strips of prociutto into a mini muffin tin so that they line the bottom but there is also some meat hanging out over the sides to look like a flower.
• Fill each cup with about 1 1/2 TBS of cheese mixture or enough so the cup is full and rounded on the top. The filling should look like the center of the flower.
• Bake 10-15 minutes, until the prosciutto is browned and stiff to the touch. The cups should be able to retain their shape after they are removed from the tin. Serve warm, not hot.

ITALIAN PROSCIUTTO CUPS

• Cook spinach; drain well.
• In medium bowl, combine spinach, Parmesan, mushrooms, onions, oregano, salt and egg.
• Spray miniature muffin tins with Pam.
• Cut prosciutto into quarters.
• Press 1/4 slice into muffin tin, pressing against bottom and sides.
• Spoon cheese mixture into cup about 2/3 full.
• Bake 20-25 minutes in preheated 375 degree oven.
• Remove.
• Can be frozen.

PROSCIUTTO-PESTO CODDLED EGG CUPS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly coat a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray.
• Cut the prosciutto slices in half and overlap 2 pieces in each cup. Using a 2-inch cutter, cut 12 rounds from the bread and set one on top of the prosciutto in each cup.
• Divide the pesto evenly among the cups; sprinkle the Parmesan evenly over the pesto. Crack an egg into each cup and season with salt and pepper. Bake until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still runny, 8 to 12 minutes. Serve.

CRISPY PROSCIUTTO CUPS WITH SAUSAGE AND APPLE STUFFING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
• In a large skillet set over medium-high heat, brown the sausage. Use a potato masher to press the sausage in the pan. It assures a nice crust forms on the sausage. Then, using a wooden spoon, break apart the sausage as it cooks. Once the sausage is brown, add in the celery, apples and onion and saute until fragrant and softened, about 5 minutes. Add in the parsley, sage and thyme, and then add the chicken stock and scrape up any brown bits that have formed on the bottom of the pan. Season with pepper, turn off the heat and set aside.
• Add the bread cubes to a large mixing bowl and add the sauteed sausage and vegetable mixture. Toss to combine, and then add in the dried cranberries. Once the mixture has cooled slightly, add in the eggs and toss until all ingredients are combined.
• Line each cup of 2 nonstick muffin pans with 2 slices prosciutto. Let the prosciutto hang over the cups. As they bake, this becomes crispy and delicious, plus the prosciutto shrinks up a bit as it cooks as well. Press the prosciutto slices into the muffin cups to create space for the stuffing.
• Once the muffin cups are lined, fill each cup with a heaping amount of stuffing.
• Bake the stuffing cups until golden brown on top and the prosciutto is nice and crispy around the sides, 20 to 25 minutes. Once cooked, remove from the oven and let cool in the muffin tins until they are cool enough to touch, 5 to 10 minutes.
• Remove, serve and enjoy!

PROSCIUTTO EGG CUPS

Steps:

• Cook and stir onion, brown sugar, and vinegar in a skillet over medium heat until onion is golden, about 20 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a 6-muffin tin with cooking spray.
• Whisk egg whites and eggs in a large measuring cup.
• Fill each muffin cup halfway with egg mixture. Scatter onion, Gouda cheese, and prosciutto cubes on top. Cover with remaining egg mixture, leaving 1/4-inch space at the top for eggs to rise.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown on top, about 20 minutes.

CRISPY PROSCIUTTO CUPS WITH PEAR FILLING

Steps:

• 1) Cut ham into squares large enough to fit into mini muffin tin. Note: the ham will shrink, so it's ok if it sticks out a bit (although try to make it stick up, so it doesn't overlap with neighboring ham cups); I also saw this done with 2-4 strips overlaid in a criss cross.
• Bake at 375 for approx 10 minutes, until warm and stiff.
• Remove cups from oven and place on paper towel to cool and drain grease (see note above).
• Cut up pear into small cubes; mix with lemon juice and fill cups as much as you want.
• Garnish with colorful spices and/or herbs (sweet paprika and chives shown in picture).

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.

QUICHE IN PROSCIUTTO CUPS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400°F. Coat a mini muffin pan with cooking spray. Press 1 piece prosciutto into each of 8 cups. Whisk egg whites and whole egg until smooth. Whisk in yogurt, olives, rosemary, salt and pepper. Divide mixture among cups. Bake, uncovered, until quiches are cooked through, 10 to 12 minutes. Garnish with rosemary.
