It’s like a taste of heaven with bites of fluffy egg whites, rich runny yolks and crispy prosciutto.

Serves: 6 | Prep Time: 20 minutes | Cook Time: 3 minutes | Bake Time: 6 minutes

Ingredients 

  • 3 slices prosciutto (about 45g)
  • 6 eggs, separated
  • ½ cup (125 mL) + 2 tbsp (30 mL) fresh grated Parmesan cheese, divided
  • 3 tbsp (45 mL) finely chopped mixed fresh herbs (such as chives, thyme, and basil), divided
  • pepper to taste

 

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C).
  2. In a large non-stick pan, over medium heat, cook prosciutto until crisp and golden brown, about 3 minutes. Let cool and chop. Set aside.
  3. Using an electric mixer, on medium-high speed, beat egg whites to stiff peaks. Fold in ½ cup (125 mL) Parmesan and 2 tbsp (30 mL) of the mixed herbs. On a parchment paper-lined baking sheet, spoon 6 large dollops of egg mixture 2-inches (5 cm) apart.  Using the back of a spoon, press small wells into the centre of each egg cloud. Bake for 3 minutes.
  4. Top each well with an egg yolk; sprinkle with remaining cheese, herbs, pepper and prosciutto. Bake for another 3 minutes or until egg is heated through. Serve immediately.

 

Tip: Try other variations like diced chorizo, shredded old cheddar or Romano cheese.
