Eggs and Prosciutto on English Muffin

I read a lot of books. Lately most of that reading has been via ebooks. Whenever I’m reading and a line is exceptionally memorable, or involves food, I usually grab a screen shot of it.

This particular dish came about because it was made by the heroine in an ebook I was reading. So, of course, I captured it and saved the passage. Unfortunately it was just a sample of a chapter so I don’t even know the name of the book this recipe came from to credit the original source. But it made a nice dish for brunch.
