Eggs in a Basket Recipe

Ingredients

• cooking spray
• 3 large potatoes, peeled and grated
• 1/4 cup butter, melted
• kosher salt and ground black pepper to taste
• 6 eggs
• 3/4 cup shredded provolone cheese
• 6 slices prosciutto
• 2 teaspoons maple syrup

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a large 6-cup muffin tin with cooking spray.
2. Mix potatoes, melted butter, salt, and pepper together in a large bowl.
3. Divide potato mixture among muffin cups. Press to create a thin crust over the bottom and up the sides of each cup.
4. Bake in the preheated oven until edges are a light golden brown and potatoes are tender, about 30 minutes. Crack an egg gently into each cup. Continue cooking until egg whites are set and yolk is runny, about 6 minutes. Remove from the oven; cover eggs with provolone cheese.
5. Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven’s broiler.
6. Toss prosciutto with maple syrup and pepper in a small bowl. Spread out on a small baking sheet lined with aluminum foil.
7. Place muffin tin and baking sheet under the preheated broiler. Broil until cheese is melted and prosciutto is crisp, about 1 minute.
8. Transfer egg baskets to a serving plate. Chop prosciutto and sprinkle on top.
