Prosciutto Egg Skillet with Tomatoes and Basil
That is all you need for a super simple, yet delicious and nutritious, meal. I have made this hundreds of times over the years and there is no shortage of different combinations of ingredients. I’ve used other types of meat, other veggies, you name it, it all tastes good in this one-skillet dish.
I love the combination of flavors in this recipe. The lightly crispy prosciutto with the caramelized onions, the saucy tomatoes, and then those runny eggs. Everything mixing together to create the perfect bite. I love sprinkling this dish with nutritional yeast for a bit of a cheesy, dairy-free taste, and fresh basil elevates any recipe so don’t skimp on that.

Notes
Home Chef Tip: To get the prosciutto nice and crispy, you have to place it in a single layer in the pan - no overlapping, and no touching. Let that crisp up for a few minutes before flipping it over.
