1 In a 9-inch nonstick skillet, melt the butter over medium-low heat.

2 Lay the prosciutto slices in the pan, overlapping slightly. Break the eggs into a cup one at a time, then slide the eggs onto the prosciutto. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.

3 Cover and cook over low heat until the eggs are set to taste, about 2 to 3 minutes. Serve hot.
