Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp Olive oil plus more for greasing the muffin tin
  • 12 to 14 slices of prosciutto
  • 4 cups baby spinach
  • 8 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup onion finely diced
  • 1 tsp minced garlic
  • 1/3 cup cheddar cheese grated
  • 4 oz. goat cheese crumbled
  • 1/4 cup 2% milk
  • Kosher salt and fresh ground pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Brush each of the cups in a 12-cup muffin tin generously with olive oil.
  • Line each cup with the sliced prosciutto (you may need to cut the prosciutto in 1/2 and crisscross the slices. You want to cover the entire area of the muffin cup with prosciutto).
  • In a medium skillet, heat the 1 tbsp of olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions and sauté for 2 – 3 minutes. Add the garlic and continue to cook for about 30 seconds or until fragrant; do not brown the garlic.
  • Add the spinach and cook, stirring occasionally, until the spinach is wilted. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool.
  • In a large bowl, whisk the eggs until well beaten.
  • Once the onions and spinach are cooled, add the mixture to the beaten eggs, then add the 2% milk, Kosher salt, and fresh ground pepper. (Be careful with the salt as the prosciutto is already salty).
  • Pour or spoon the mixture into the prepared muffin tins using a soup ladle, dividing it equally between the cups.
  • Divide the crumbled goat cheese between the muffin cups and top with the grated cheddar cheese.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 12 – 15 minutes or until the eggs are puffed and slightly golden on top.
  • Use a knife and fork to remove the egg cups from the muffin tin.
  • Serve immediately. Enjoy!!
