Ingredients for Baked Eggs
- Prosciutto: you can also use ham if you prefer, but the prosciutto has a unique salty flavor that pairs perfectly with the eggs.
- Eggs: fresh large eggs fit the wells of muffin tins perfectly.
- Optional: heavy cream or butter: a small amount of heavy cream or butter is drizzled over the eggs before they are baked. You can skip this step if you prefer, but it helps to prevent the egg from becoming rubbery as it cooks.
How do you make Baked Eggs?
You can make this easy breakfast in just a few simple steps. First, preheat your oven to 400 degrees F. Spray a muffin tin with cooking spray, alternatively, you can use a silicone muffin tin to prevent sticking.
Place a slice of prosciutto in each muffin tin, it is okay if it doesn’t cover it completely. Carefully crack a large egg over the prosciutto.
Add one teaspoon of heavy cream or a drizzle of melted butter over the uncooked egg, this prevents the egg from becoming rubbery while cooking. Top with salt and pepper.
Bake the eggs 10-18 minutes based on your desired doneness. The lower cooking time the less done the eggs will be. A longer cooking time will result in a texture similar to a hard boiled egg.
How do you prevent baked eggs from sticking to the pan?
The easiest way to prevent sticking is to use a silicone muffin pan, or silicone muffin liners. These are so handy to prevent foods from sticking. Alternatively, if using a metal muffin tin spray very well with cooking spray such as olive, canola or coconut oil.
