Ingredients
-
Nonstick cooking spray
-
8 slices prosciutto
-
8 large eggs
-
8 teaspoons basil pesto
-
8 cherry or grape tomatoes, halved
-
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly spray 8 standard muffin cups with nonstick cooking spray.
-
Line with prosciutto. Press one slice of prosciutto into each muffin cup, covering the bottom and sides. Pleat gently as needed.

Add eggs. Crack each egg into a small bowl, then carefully slide it into the prosciutto-lined cup.
-
Top. Spoon about 1 teaspoon pesto onto each egg. Add two tomato halves and sprinkle with black pepper.
-
Bake for 18–20 minutes, or until egg whites are set and yolks reach desired doneness.
-
Rest for 3–5 minutes before carefully loosening edges with a knife and removing from the pan.
Notes

For firmer yolks, bake closer to 20 minutes.
-
For slightly runny yolks, check at 16–17 minutes.
-
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
