Ingredients

• 4 eggs
• 2 tbsp chopped flat-leaf parsley
• 3 slices prosciutto, finely chopped or cut into thin strips

Instructions

Preheat oven to 200°C. Whisk eggs with parsley and season with pepper. Add prosciutto and stir to combine.

Evenly spoon mixture into a 10-hole (125 ml/½ cup) greased muffin pan so they fill about halfway up.

Add pan to oven and bake for 10 minutes or until egg mixture just sets. Remove from oven and set aside to cool for a few minutes before removing pies from pan. Serve the same day at room temperature, perhaps with your favourite relish.
