Ingredients

  • 3 large russet potatoes, peeled
  • 1/2 stick unsalted butter, melted
  • Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
  • Nonstick cooking spray
  • 6 slices prosciutto, about 2 1/2 ounces, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 6 eggs
  • 3/4 cup shredded provolone

Directions

Special equipment: jumbo sized 6-cup muffin tin

Heat the oven to 350 degrees F.

In a food processor fitted with the grater attachment, push chunks of the potato through the chute to grate. Once all the potatoes are grated, put them into a piece of cheesecloth or a clean kitchen towel and squeeze to remove the moisture. Add the potatoes to a large bowl, stir in the melted butter and season well with salt and pepper, to taste.

Spray the muffin tin lightly with nonstick cooking spray. Press the grated potatoes evenly into the muffin cups being sure the potatoes go up the sides and a thin layer and covers the bottom. Bake until the top edges turn light golden brown and the potatoes are cooked through, about 35 to 40 minutes.

Meanwhile, in a small bowl toss together the prosciutto with maple syrup and a few grinds of freshly ground black pepper. Set aside.

Remove the potatoes from the oven and gently crack an egg into each cup. Bake until the egg whites set but the yolk remains runny, about 6 to 8 minutes.

Remove from the oven and set the oven to broil. Top the eggs with grated cheese and put the maple prosciutto on another sheet tray. Broil both until cheese melts, and prosciutto crisps slightly, about 1 minute.

Top the eggs with crispy prosciutto and serve immediately.

    I do a lot of cooking and this one just didn't work for me. I made sure my muffin tin was greased but the potatoes shrink a lot and stuck like glue to the sides. I threw them out and just put a small round of toast in the bottom, surrounded the sides with cooked bacon, put in a little grated gruyere, one unbroken egg, 1tsp cream, sprinkled grated parmesan, pepper and chives on top and cooked for 13 mins. Perfect. Would make this over and over.

    Loved this recipe and so did everyone else! I did overcook the eggs a bit, next time I'll take them out when they're a bit runny because they keep cooking when you broil the cheese. I also put aluminum over mine for a while after taking out of the oven before serving and the yolks were cooked. Leftovers are awesome!
