Ingredients

• 6 eggs
• 2 teaspoons maple syrup

• kosher salt and ground black pepper to taste
• 6 slices prosciutto
• 3 large potatoes, peeled and grated
• 0.25 cup butter, melted

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a large 6-cup muffin tin with cooking spray.

Step 2

Mix potatoes, melted butter, salt, and pepper together in a large bowl.

Step 3

Divide potato mixture among muffin cups. Press to create a thin crust over the bottom and up the sides of each cup.

Step 4

Bake in the preheated oven until edges are a light golden brown and potatoes are tender, about 30 minutes. Crack an egg gently into each cup. Continue cooking until egg whites are set and yolk is runny, about 6 minutes. Remove from the oven; cover eggs with provolone cheese.

Step 5

Toss prosciutto with maple syrup and pepper in a small bowl. Spread out on a small baking sheet lined with aluminum foil.

Step 6

Place muffin tin and baking sheet under the preheated broiler. Broil until cheese is melted and prosciutto is crisp, about 1 minute.

Step 7

Transfer egg baskets to a serving plate. Chop prosciutto and sprinkle on top.

Step 8

Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
