Baked Egg With Prosciutto and Tomato

By susanwadle

Ingredients

• Butter or oil as needed
• 1 slice tomato
• 1 small slice prosciutto
• 1 egg
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper.

Preparation

Step 1

1. Heat oven to 375 degrees. Smear a bit of butter or oil in ramekin; line with tomato and prosciutto. Break egg into ramekin, then put on a baking sheet.

2. Bake 10 to 15 minutes, or until egg is set and white has solidified. Because the cup retains heat, egg will continue to cook after you remove it from the oven, so it is best to undercook it slightly. Precise time, in a good oven on a middle rack, is 12 minutes. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and serve.
