Rise and Shine Prosciutto Egg Cups (Whole30, Paleo + Keto)

Meal prep is the hero of healthy eating. It’s the kind of habit that makes long term change possible. These egg cups are the perfect item to add to your meal planning rotation. The crispy salty prosciutto, the creamy egg, and the zest from the lemon make these so satisfying. I like to serve with sliced avocado, and some mixed berries. And if you’re feeling really adventurous, add a few pinches of red pepper flakes!

As for storing, I recommend keeping them sealed in the refrigerator for up to 4 days, and reheat either in the skillet, or microwave. I prefer the skillet- I just heat over medium heat, and cover for 1-2 minutes, until warmed through. This helps keeps the prosciutto crispy!
