This recipe is courtesy Tracy Hayhurst, the culinary director at Seed & Spoon cooking school and farm stay in Norfolk, CT. After Friday's five-course dinner, guests at the farm begin Saturday with this light, protein-rich egg cup, and then spend the morning foraging for wild mushrooms or picking veggies for the evening's cooking class.

Ingredients

1 Tbsp. unsalted butter, plus more for muffin pan
1/2 shallot, chopped
4 cups baby spinach, chopped
6 large eggs
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
12 slices prosciutto
6 oz. Gruyère or Cheddar, grated (about 1 1/2 cups)

Directions

1. Step 1Preheat oven to 375°F. Lightly butter a 12-cup standard muffin pan. Melt butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add shallot and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 1 to 2 minutes. Add spinach and cook, stirring, until wilted, 4 to 5 minutes; cool.
2. Step 2Whisk together eggs and cream in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Line cups of prepared muffin pan with prosciutto, dividing evenly. Top with Gruyère, dividing evenly. Top with spinach mixture, dividing evenly. Pour egg mixture over cheese and spinach, dividing evenly. (Do not worry if some of the egg goes behind the prosciutto.) Bake until slightly puffed and golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Serve immediately.
