Ingredients
Scale
- 4 slices of prosciutto
- 4 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: Fresh herbs (like chives or parsley) for garnish
Instructions
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil or butter.
- Lay the slices of prosciutto in the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes on each side, until slightly crispy. Remove and set aside.
- In the same skillet, crack the eggs gently into the pan. Cook until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny for sunny-side-up, or flip for over-easy eggs.
- Season the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper, keeping in mind the prosciutto is already salty.
- Serve the eggs alongside the crispy prosciutto and garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
Notes
- For a heartier meal, serve with toasted bread or a side of sautéed greens.
- You can crumble the prosciutto over the eggs for a different presentation.
