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.
