Baked Egg With Prosciutto & Fresh Tomatoes

Step 1: Heat oven to 375 degrees. Set your oven rack to middle position.

Step 2: Grease the ramekin/s with very soft or melted butter, then line with tomato slice and prosciutto slice. Break egg into ramekin, then put on a baking sheet.

Step 3: Bake 10 to 15 minutes, or until egg is set and white has solidified ** the cup retains heat and egg will continue to cook after you remove it from the oven, so it is best to undercook it slightly. Precise time, in a good oven on a middle rack, is 12 minutes. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and serve.

Some variations - You could put chopped cooked spinach or cooked asparagus in bottom of cup, with a little cream. Or place the egg on a bed of chopped ham, bacon or sausage. Sprinkle with Parmesan if you like
