Ingredients
 

  • 6 slices prosciutto
  • 6 large fresh eggs
  • 6 teaspoons heavy cream, or melted unsalted butter
  • ½ cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Spray 6 cavities of the muffin tin very well. Tuck one slice of prosciutto in the muffin pan. Top with one large egg.
  • Drizzle one teaspoon of heavy cream or melted butter over the uncooked egg. Top with salt, pepper, and shredded cheese.
  • Bake for 10-18 minutes until the yolk reaches your desired texture. The lower the cooking time the runnier the egg will be.

Notes

  • For a more crisp top, put the eggs under the broiler for 30-60 seconds after they're done baking.
  • Store in an airtight container in the fridge for 4 days, or in the freezer for 3 months.
  • Reheat in a 350F oven for 7-8 minutes, or in a microwave on 80% power in 20-second increments.
  • This recipe makes 6 baked eggs, and each one has 0.4 carbs.
