Baked Eggs with Prosciutto and Gruyere

By tulawdog

Ingredients

• 4 to 8 slices prosciutto
• 4 large eggs
• 4 tablespoons cream
• 1/4 cup grated gruyere
• freshly ground back pepper

Preparation

Step 1

1. Preheat the oven to 375 F. Line 4 ramekins with prosciutto so the bottom and sides are almost completely covered. Crack an egg into each prepared ramekin. Drizzle 1 tablespoon cream on top of each egg and sprinkle each with 1 tablespoon cheese. Season with pepper.
2. Place ramekins into the center of oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the whites are set and the yolk is done to the desired firmness. (Sarah likes hers completely hard, so she let hers go a few minutes longer.) The eggs will continue to cook after you remove them from the oven, so underbake them slightly. Serve immediately. Serves 4.
