Prosciutto Egg Cups
I haven’t made a post in such a long time, I almost don’t know what to do! Almost. My husband, Michael, and I successfully completed the whole 30 program back in May. We did well! I was just talking to a friend today that is doing the Whole 30 and is struggling with food prep for the week, along with juggling work and life. It was definitely the hardest part of following that plan, and I cook a lot! I am also currently on leave from my ‘real’ job as a teacher. Cooking breakfast alone, the way I was cooking breakfasts while on the Whole 30, would’ve been such a struggle, if I had to also worry about getting out the door for work. I probably would’ve had to get up really early, and I don’t do really early very well. Kudos, Katie, you’re doing awesome!
These prosciutto egg cups are so easy and so tasty, they are the perfect brunch item for a large crowd! Granted, wrapping the prosciutto in the muffin cups can be a bit time intensive when you’re doing many, but it’s worth it in the end. Here’s what happened…
BEFORE you line the muffin cups with prosciutto, spray each cup with an olive oil spray. This step will save your life in clean up!
Crack one egg into each cup and season with salt and pepper.
Bake at 375 for 15 minutes and done! They will seem really loose and underdone, but just trust that they are done. Wrap that one around your brain!
Use a flexible spatula to help release the prosciutto from the sides of the pan and it should remove itself easily. If you’re on the Whole 30, or not, serve with a side of roasted sweet potatoes. Yummy!!

Notes
Homemade Mayonnaise
I’ve made this recipe several times, since starting the Whole 30 program and I think I will make it forever! Who needs mayonnaise with added sugar if you don’t need it?! Having a food processor to facilitate this recipe is a necessity, in my opinion. You could do it by hand and get a serious arm work out. If you do, let me know!
There is raw egg yolk in this recipe, so the longest it will keep is about a week. If you feel uncomfortable using raw eggs, use pasteurized eggs. We buy our eggs from a local farmer, so they are pretty fresh and have worked well for us! I always double this recipe, but you can make a single batch, if that’s all you need.
Here’s what you need to do…
2 egg yolks
4 teaspoons white wine vinegar
4 teaspoons lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups light olive oil
In the bowl of a food processor, combine the yolks, vinegar, lemon juice and salt and blend till combined. While the food processor is running, slowly add the oil, allowing the mixture to emulsify. Transfer to a container with an airtight lid and store in your refrigerator for about 7 days.
Enjoy!
