Elegant Breakfast Delight: Prosciutto-Wrapped Scrambled Eggs

Are you looking for a show-stopping breakfast dish to impress your loved ones on special occasions? Look no further! This simple yet elegant recipe combines creamy scrambled eggs with thin slices of prosciutto, perfect for Father’s Day or any other celebration.

The Perfect Combination

Thin slices of prosciutto wrapped around fluffy scrambled eggs create a stunning presentation that’s sure to impress. Serve it alongside Brazilian-style French toast and marinated mango for a truly unforgettable breakfast.

Tips and Variations

If you prepare the scramble without the prosciutto, be sure to adjust the amount of salt to compensate for the missing flavor. You can also customize this recipe to your taste by adding other ingredients, such as diced ham or chopped herbs.

Ingredients

• 10 large eggs
• 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 1/4 cup finely chopped chives
• 1/4 cup whole milk or water
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 4 ounces cream cheese, cut into small cubes
• 8 slices prosciutto (thin, but not too thin)

Cooking the Eggs

Combine eggs, pepper, 3 tablespoons of chives, and milk or water in a large mixing bowl. Whisk until eggs are broken up and well blended. Melt butter in a large nonstick frying pan over low heat until foaming. Pour in egg mixture and let it sit undisturbed until eggs just start to set around edges, about 1-2 minutes. Use a rubber spatula to push eggs from edges into center. Let sit again for 30 seconds, then repeat pushing eggs every 30 seconds until just set, about 4-5 minutes.

Adding the Finishing Touches

Add salt, distribute cream cheese over eggs, and stir to incorporate. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until eggs reach desired doneness. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Assembly and Serving

For each serving, place 2 slices of prosciutto on a plate, overlapping each other lengthwise. Place a quarter of the eggs crosswise toward one end of the prosciutto pieces. Wrap loose end of prosciutto over top of eggs, resembling a burrito. Top with a sprinkle of remaining chives and serve immediately.

Wine Pairing Suggestion

Ermacora Tocai Friulano, Italy, pairs perfectly with this dish. This crisp white wine has a gentle touch that complements the easygoing flavors of the scrambled eggs and prosciutto.
