Spicy Tomato Veggie Eggs with Prosciutto (Gluten-Free, Paleo, Whole30)
Want to know a little secret? I'm obsessed... and I mean OBSESSED with Chrissy Teigen's new book, Cravings: Recipes for All the Food You Want to Eat. Plus, I love browsing the photos within the book. She’s hanging out with John Legend, stuffing her face full of great food, yet still looking flawless. This cookbook feels like you catching up with your closest girlfriend over an insanely delicious meal. So, as you can see, lately, I've been getting inspired by all of her amazingly delicious recipes. This morning was a cold morning in Portland, post-snow day. I wanted something delicious. Something savory. Something to bring the heat. As I'm flipping through the pages of Cravings, the Spicy Tomato Eggs Skillet with Prosciutto caught my eye.
I thought for a second... hmmm what do I have? Prosciutto, I've got that. Eggs? Definitely got those. Red pepper flakes and oregano? I've got those, too. Tomatoes and tomato sauce? Yep. Got both of those.
The recipe, in the book, calls for Perfect Tomato Sauce, which is another recipe in Chrissy's book. For this recipe, I used my own. I took this dish one step further and added asparagus, mushrooms, and basil. I baked my version; and, babe, let me tell you... it was SO GOOD!
What You'll Need
1/2 cup Onions, diced
4 Mushrooms, sliced
6 cherry tomatoes, halved

6 asparagus spears, cut in 4's
1/4 tsp. red pepper flakes, or more as desired
2 tsp. chopped, fresh or dried oregano
1/4 tsp cumin
4 slices of prosciutto
Salt and pepper, to taste
