Prosciutto Baked Eggs
For each individual ramekin:
- 1 egg
- 1 T half & half
- 1 T finely-chopped prosciutto
- 1 T grated gruyere cheese
- 1 T panko bread crumbs
- thyme – fresh (minced) or dried (just a pinch)
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Place oven rack in middle of your oven.
Lightly butter each individual oven-proof baking dish or ramekin (5″ diameter is about right)
Break 1 egg (being careful not to break the yolk) into each baking dish.
Season with salt and pepper.
Spoon the half & half over each egg; do not stir.
Mix together the prosciutto, gruyere, and panko, and sprinkle evenly over each egg.
Sprinkle each egg with a pinch of thyme.
Bake in preheated oven approximately 12 minutes. Check the eggs after about 10 minutes baking time. When done, the whites should be completely set and the yolks barely beginning to thicken. Remember the eggs will continue to cook after being removed from the oven.
Remove from oven and serve immediately.
