Parmesan Eggs in A Hole with Crispy Prosciutto

You only need 5 ingredients for the gourmet meal and it’s perfect for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

Ingredients

Parmesan Eggs in A Hole with Crispy Prosciutto
  • 4 pieces of prosciutto, cut in threes
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 4 slices of bread (sourdough is excellent for this)
  • 4 eggs
  • 1/2 cup parmesan, shredded
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Place prosciutto pieces on a parchment-lined baking sheet, making sure they don’t touch. Place the baking sheet in the oven and cook for 5-6 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool. The prosciutto will continue to crisp up as it cools.
  2. Heat a large skillet to medium heat. Using a small round biscuit cutter, cut a hole in each slice of bread being careful to keep bread intact. Add butter to pan and place slices of bread into a pan with melted butter. After toasting bread for 1-2 minutes crack an egg into the hole cut in each piece of bread. Season egg with salt and pepper and allow to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes. Flip bread slices, season with salt and pepper and cook for approx 3 minutes. During the last minute of cooking, sprinkle shredded parmesan cheese on top of each slice of bread. Flip bread and toast cheese for approx 20 seconds.
  3. To serve, lay crispy prosciutto on top of toasted egg bread and devour. A couple of slices of avocado is an excellent addition.

Notes:

This popcorn will last 2-3 days in an airtight container before it reaches a stale texture. I seriously doubt you’ll have any leftovers, though!
