Scrambled eggs with crispy prosciutto
Who likes brunch???? Who likes bacon??? Who else tries to avoid too much bacon?? Crispy prosciutto is my new friend!!
A few weeks ago, I had the chance of meeting an amazing chef, Lynn Crawford, at the airport. She was promoting her restaurant and her cookbooks. Of course, I bought a book and she was nice enough to sign it!! When I got home, I threw myself on the couch and looked at her book, slowly, page by page. This is one of my favourite thing to do, take time to myself to read a cookbook. One of the recipe that jumped at me was her crispy prosciutto. It was crumbled on top of green scrambled eggs (she mixes in some spinach) and I HAD to try it! I like my scrambled eggs without spinach but topped with some heavenly crumbs of prosciutto…. yup!! You can also use it in sandwiches or on top of salads.
I love eggs, I mean LOVE eggs. All day every day!! I usually eat them sunny side up but once in awhile I will have them scrambled. I could never get them to be awesome until I saw a video from Gordon Ramsay demonstrating how to cook soft and fluffy scrambled eggs. I tried it right away and they were perfect!!
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp. Butter
- 4 Eggs
- A splash of milk (Use almod milk to make it dairy free)
- Salt
- Pepper
- 2 Slices of prosciutto
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Cover a baking sheet with parchemin paper, lay your prosciutto slices in a single layer, cover with another layer of parchemin paper and another baking sheet. Bake for 15 minutes.
- Heat up a small pan on low-medium heat. In a bowl, crack your eggs and stir with a splash of milk.
- When the pan is warm, melt the butter. Add the eggs and slowly start stiring the eggs around the pan. When they start to solidify a little, take the pan off the heat and continue to stir slowly... very slowly. Put the pan back on the heat and repeat until the eggs are slightly cooked and fluffy. Salt and pepper to taste. Make sure you don't over cook them. If you are not going to plate them right away, make sure you push them to one side of the pan to avoid drying them out.
- To serve, place your eggs on a plate and crumble pieces of the crispy prosciutto on top.
