Whole 30 Whole30 Smoky Paprika Prosciutto Egg Cups
These smoky, savory egg cups are the kind of breakfast that makes waking up early feel completely worth it. Thin slices of prosciutto are pressed into a muffin tin to form crispy little edible bowls, each one cradling a perfectly baked egg dusted with smoked paprika, garlic powder, and black pepper. The result is deeply flavorful, satisfying, and genuinely impressive for something that comes together in under 20 minutes. Every ingredient here is clean and compliant — no grains, no dairy, no added sugar — so you can dig in without scanning a single label. The prosciutto crisps up beautifully at the edges while the egg sets inside, giving you that contrast of texture in every bite. A handful of fresh chives on top adds a bright, oniony finish that pulls the whole thing together. This recipe makes 8 cups and serves 4, which means it's just as practical for a weekday reset as it is for a leisurely weekend brunch.
