Instructions
1
Preheat Oven and Prepare Muffin Tin
⏱ 0:00Prosciutto and Egg Cups
1.Preheat the oven to 190°C.
2.Line four cups of a muffin tin with prosciutto slices, ensuring the bottom and sides are fully covered to form a cup shape.
💡 Overlap the prosciutto slightly to prevent gaps where the egg might leak through.
2
Prepare Side Ingredients
⏱ 0:02Sautéed Spinach and Mushrooms
1.While the oven preheats, slice the mushrooms thinly and roughly chop the spinach.
2.Mince the garlic cloves finely.
💡 Keep ingredients near the stove for quick access once sautéing begins.
3
Assemble Egg Cups
⏱ 0:05Prosciutto and Egg Cups
1.Crack one egg into each prosciutto-lined muffin cup.
2.Sprinkle grated parmesan cheese evenly over the eggs, followed by a pinch of black pepper on each.
💡 If an egg overflows, use a spoon to adjust the prosciutto to contain it better.

Bake Egg Cups
⏱ 0:07Prosciutto and Egg Cups
1.Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven at 190°C.
2.Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the egg whites are fully set and the edges of the prosciutto are slightly crispy.
💡 Check at the 12-minute mark to avoid overcooking the yolks if you prefer them runny.

Start Sautéing Vegetables
⏱ 0:07Sautéed Spinach and Mushrooms
1.Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
2.Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant, ensuring it doesn’t burn.
💡 Keep the heat moderate to prevent the garlic from turning bitter.
6
Cook Mushrooms
⏱ 0:09Sautéed Spinach and Mushrooms
1.Add sliced mushrooms to the skillet.
2.Sauté for 5-7 minutes over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until they release their moisture and turn golden brown.
💡 Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure even browning; cook in batches if needed.

Add Spinach
⏱ 0:14Sautéed Spinach and Mushrooms
1.Stir in the chopped spinach and cook for 1-2 minutes over medium heat, until just wilted and bright green.
2.Season lightly with a pinch of salt if desired.
💡 Don’t overcook the spinach; it should retain some texture and vibrant color.

Finish Egg Cups
⏱ 0:15Prosciutto and Egg Cups
1.Remove the muffin tin from the oven.
2.Let the egg cups cool for 1 minute, then carefully lift them out with a spoon.
