Baked Eggs with Feta and Prosciutto

(from largomason’s recipe box)

Ingredients

  • 2 sheets pre-rolled puff pastry, defrosted
  • 1 1/2 cups feta cheese, crumbled
  • 3 slices of prosciutto
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 TBSP Parmigiano-Reggiano, grated
  • Salt and freshly ground pepper
  • Parsley, chopped for garnish

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. Heat a large pan on med-high heat and cook the prosciutto slices on both sides until crisp. Place on a paper towel to drain off any excess fat. Crumble when it’s cooled and dried.

  3. Using a 5" cookie cutter, or a bowl about 5" in diameter, cut out 4 circles from the puff pastry. Transfer to the baking sheet. Score a border about 1/2" in around each circle. Be sure to not cut all the way through! Prick the inside, not the border, with a fork. Place in the fridge for 15 minutes.

  4. Fill each puff pastry center with crumbled feta and top with the crumbled prosciutto, making sure there is none on the border. Bake for 8 minutes or until the border has puffed up. Press the center down gently with the back of a spoon. Break an egg into a small bowl then pour it into the center of the “plate”. Repeat for each egg. Season with salt and freshly ground pepper and sprinkle with the Parmesan. Place them back into the oven for another 6-7 minutes until the whites of the eggs are set and the puff pastry is golden. Garnish with chopped parsley.
