Italian Egg Cups
Savory, Italian-inspired egg cups with prosciutto.
Ingredients
- Oil spray of your choice
- 6 oz. sliced prosciutto
- 1 tbsp avocado oil
- ΒΌ sweet Vidalia onion diced into ΒΌ-inch pieces
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 8 large eggs
- Β½ tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- ΒΌ-Β½ tsp salt ΒΌ if using feta, Β½ if using goat cheese
- Β½ tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- Β½ cup sun-dried tomatoes in olive oil excess oil shaken off and roughly chopped
- 2.5 oz. goat cheese or feta cheese crumbled
Instructions
- Preheat oven 375 degrees F. Spray a 12-cup muffin tin with oil spray.
- Cut prosciutto in half crosswise (I use kitchen shears) and overlap the pieces in each cup, arranging so it covers as much as possible. Fold any edges back into the cup that are hanging over. Itβs OK if you only get 11 cups.
- Heat a small skillet to medium and add avocado oil. When oil moves quickly around the pan, add onion. Saute, stirring frequently, until softened and translucent, 3-4 minutes. Add garlic, stirring constantly for 30 seconds, then set aside to cool at least 5 minutes.
- In a large mixing bowl (ideally with a spout), whisk together eggs, onion powder, oregano, salt, pepper, and Worcestershire. In a separate small bowl, combine sun-dried tomatoes, goat cheese, and onion. Add one tablespoon of the tomato, cheese, and onion mixture to each cup, then evenly distribute any remaining filling. Evenly top with egg mixture.
- Bake for 20 minutes, until bouncy and firm to touch. Cool 10 minutes before running a butter knife around the edges and removing.
- Leftover egg cups will keep tightly sealed in the fridge up to 5 days or frozen 2 months. Reheat in the microwave, in a 300 degree F oven or in the air fryer for 3-4 minutes. If theyβre frozen, add egg cups to fridge the night before you want to enjoy, then reheat as above.
