Piggie & Eggs in a Skillet

Period.  Sorry, a Diet Coke and a granola bar in the car won’t cut it.    Sugary cereal in hormone filled milk doesn’t really count for much either.

A simple and quick breakfast can still be full of protein to give you a strong start to your day AND be exploding with flavor and, get this…it can be a H.O.T. made from scratch breakfast on your plate in minutes, literally!

Give this simple. delicious. breakfast a try…and let me know how you like it!

Instructions

1. Preheat a 6" cast iron or non-stick skillet on medium-low for 60 seconds then melt oil to coat. While skillet preheats and oil melts, chop the chives and get your 2 eggs, herbs and pepper out.
2. Line skillet with 3 slices of prosciutto to completely cover the bottom and edges of skillet and let cook for 2-3 minutes.
3. Crack two eggs on top of prosciutto, sprinkle with fresh black pepper, chives and herbs. Cover and let cook 3-5 minutes or until eggs are done to your liking
4. Slide Piggie & Eggs out of your skillet and on to your plate and enjoy!

Recipe Notes

• Prosciutto is naturally salty so best not to add any salt to your eggs!
• To increase the servings on this be sure to increase your pan size 2" per additional serving (i.e. 8" skillet for 2 people, 10" skillet for 3 people, 12" skillet for 4 people.
• It makes a beautiful dish for a brunch too
• When you order the prosciutto at the deli counter be sure they put paper between the slices and slice it thin but not so thin that it is falling apart.  You want to be able to line the skillet with it, without the eggs touching the skillet bottom.
