PROSCIUTTO BREAKFAST BAKE



Prosciutto Breakfast Bake image

Great breakfast or brunch idea. The capsicum stays fairly crisp so if you prefer it softer pre-cook while heating the oven. While eating I thought red onion would also make a good addition so have listed that as an optional ingredient.

Provided by Peter J

Categories     Breakfast

Time 20m

Yield 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

20 g prosciutto (one slice)
1 large egg
2 teaspoons red capsicums, diced
2 teaspoons red onions, diced (optional)
cracked pepper

Steps:

  • Pre-heat over to 180C / 350°F.
  • Trim excess fat from prosciutto and lay into small lightly greased ramekin dish with fat end at the bottom and other end laying out to the side.
  • Crack egg into dish and carefully, top with diced capsicum and pepper (and onion if using) and fold prosciutto over the top.
  • Bake for 15 minutes for fairly soft yolks, around 20 if you like them firmer.
  • Serve over a slice of toast.

CRISPY PROSCIUTTO



Crispy Prosciutto image

Try crispy prosciutto sprinkled on potato salad or a baked potato, crumbled over scrambled or poached eggs, tossed with cooked green vegetables, or served on the side with pancakes or French toast.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Pork Recipes

Yield Makes 1 cup (crumbled)

Number Of Ingredients 1

12 slices prosciutto (about 6 ounces total)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line two rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper. Divide prosciutto between baking sheets, laying them flat. Bake until fat turns golden and meat is darker, about 15 minutes (rotating baking sheets from top to bottom halfway through baking time). Using tongs, carefully transfer prosciutto to paper towels to drain (it will crisp as it cools). Crispy prosciutto can be used like bacon, in whole pieces or crumbled.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use high-quality ingredients. Look for fresh, ripe vegetables and fruits, and use a good quality prosciutto. Different types of vegetables such as spinach, tomatoes, bell peppers, and mushrooms can be used.
  • Don't overcrowd the baking dish. Make sure there is enough room for the ingredients to cook evenly. A wider baking dish can be used to make sure the layers are even.
  • Bake the dish until the eggs are set and the cheese is melted and bubbly. The center of the dish should reach 165°F (74°C) to ensure food safety.
  • Let the dish cool slightly before serving. This will help the eggs to set and make it easier to slice.
  • Serve the dish with a side of fresh fruit or yogurt. This will help to balance out the richness of the dish.

Conclusion:

The prosciutto breakfast bake is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weekend brunch or special occasion. It is packed with flavor and protein, and it is sure to be a hit with your family and friends. Experiment with different types of vegetables and cheeses to create your own unique variations on this recipe.
