Gather…
12 slices prosciutto (I use Citterio – the only ingredients are pork and salt)
24-36 quail eggs
Salt to taste
(Optional) Hard cheese, such as cheddar or Parmesan
Go!
Preheat oven to 400° F. Grease a muffin tin (I use ghee, butter, or leftover animal fat from previous culinary endeavors).
Fold each slice of prosciutto in half and place in the bottom of the pan.
Crack 2-3 quail eggs into each prosciutto cup.
Sprinkle with salt to taste, and grate cheese over the top of each cup if desired.
Bake the “muffins” for 10-15 minutes, depending on how set you prefer your yolks. When I’m frying eggs, I like them to be a bit runny, but for this recipe I like them set as you can see below, so I typically leave the “muffins” in the oven for closer to the 15 minute mark. Allow to cool for five minutes before removing from pan with a knife. Enjoy!
