Prosciutto Egg Cups



By: Coach Maria - Salus Nutritionist & Food Expert

As we all know, breakfast is a rather important time to prepare your mind and body for the rigors of the day, by eating foods that will nourish them, not deprive them.

For many, however, breakfast seems to be the most neglected meal of the day due to a hectic schedule and poor planning.

The result?

Chronic neglect of breakfast can lead to greater food cravings, obesity, and reduced attention span.

The solution?

Plan ahead!

If you spend a little time on Sunday to plan for your breakfasts for the week, you'll be amazed how easy it is to eat breakfast each morning. 

P.S. These little prosciutto cups pack a big protein punch and are so easy to prepare, you can have them any time of the day!

Ingredients

Prosciutto, sliced very thin
eggs

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Line ramekin cups** with a slice or two of prosciutto.
Crack an egg into prosciutto-lined ramekin cup.
Bake 15 minutes.
Remove from oven and allow to sit for 5 minutes to finish the cooking process.
Eat.
Enjoy.

**For easier clean-up, I like using these silicone muffin cups - the prosciutto cups slide right out!
