Eggs in a Basket with Maple Prosciutto
6 servings
- 1 bag Simply Potatoes fresh hashbrown potatoes
- 1/2 stick unsalted butter, melted
- Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
- 6 slices prosciutto, about 2 1/2 oz., chopped
- 2 Tbsp. maple syrup
- 6 eggs
- 3/4 cup shredded provolone
-Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spread hashbrowns in a thin layer on paper towels and dry thoroughly. Add the potatoes to a large bowl, stir in the melted butter and season well with salt and pepper to taste.
-Spray a 6cup, jumbo sized muffin tin lightly with nonstick cooking spray. Press the grated potatoes evenly into the cups being sure the potatoes go up the sides and cover the bottom in a thin layer. Bake until the top edges turn light golden brown and the potatoes are cooked through, about 35 to 40 minutes. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, toss together the prosciutto with maple syrup and a few grinds of freshly ground black pepper. Set aside.
-Remove the potatoes from the oven and gently crack an egg into each cup. Bake until the egg whites set but the yolk remains runny, about 6 to 8 minutes. Remove from the oven and set the oven to broil. Top the eggs with grated cheese and put the maple prosciutto on another sheet tray. Broil both until cheese melts, and meat crisps slightly, about 1 minute. Top the eggs with crispy prosciutto and serve immediately.
