Ingredients

  • cooking spray
  • 3 large potatoes, peeled and grated
  • ¼ cup butter, melted
  • kosher salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 6 eggs
  • ¾ cup shredded provolone cheese
  • 6 slices prosciutto
  • 2 teaspoons maple syrup

Directions

Step 1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a large 6-cup muffin tin with cooking spray.

Step 2
Mix potatoes, melted butter, salt, and pepper together in a large bowl.

Step 3
Divide potato mixture among muffin cups. Press to create a thin crust over the bottom and up the sides of each cup.

Step 4
Bake in the preheated oven until edges are a light golden brown and potatoes are tender, about 30 minutes. Crack an egg gently into each cup. Continue cooking until egg whites are set and yolk is runny, about 6 minutes. Remove from the oven; cover eggs with provolone cheese.

Step 5
Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.

Step 6
Toss prosciutto with maple syrup and pepper in a small bowl. Spread out on a small baking sheet lined with aluminum foil.

Step 7
Place muffin tin and baking sheet under the preheated broiler. Broil until cheese is melted and prosciutto is crisp, about 1 minute.

Step 8
Transfer egg baskets to a serving plate. Chop prosciutto and sprinkle on top.

Cook’s Notes:

Substitute 3 cups shredded hash browns for the potatoes if desired. If using frozen, make sure they are thawed. Use a piece of cheesecloth or a clean kitchen towel to remove and squeeze out the moisture.
