Cheesy Breakfast Egg Bites with Prosciutto and Pesto

Courses: Breakfast
Prep: 5 mins
Cook: 20 mins

Serves: 6

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup Farm Boy™ Farmstead Fontina (150 g) grated
  • 1 pack Farm Boy™ Prosciutto Salami (100g)
  • 6 extra large eggs
  • 6 Tbsp Farm Boy™ Basil Pesto (180 ml)
  • 6 tsp whipping cream
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • Parmigiano Reggiano for garnish

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F.
  2. Grease a muffin tin with oil. Drape 1 slice Farm Boy™ Prosciutto inside each of 6 cavities, making sure it covers the bottom and sides of each cup. It’s all right if it hangs over the edges.
  3. Sprinkle grated Farm Boy™ Farmstead Fontina Cheese into each cup until about half full, then top with 1 Tbsp Farm Boy™ Fresh Basil Pesto .
  4. Crack one egg into each cup and add 1 tsp cream to each.
  5. Top with remaining Farm Boy™ Farmstead Fontina Cheese and season with salt and pepper.
  6. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until egg whites are set. Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes before removing from tin.
  7. Garnish with Parmigiano cheese and serve immediately.
