Instructions

Prepare and Bake Egg Base: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. Lightly grease a 6-cup muffin tin and divide the egg mixture evenly among cups. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the eggs are set and puffed. Let cool slightly, then carefully remove from the tin.
Assemble Meats and Cheeses: Roll or fold the prosciutto, salami, and ham into attractive shapes. Cube or slice the cheeses as desired. This ensures each component fits neatly into the serving cups and is visually appealing.
Prepare Fruits and Extras: Wash and dry the fresh fruit. Slice strawberries and cut grapes if large. Set out mini croissants or baguette slices and a small bowl of mixed nuts.
Build Charcuterie Cups: Arrange one baked egg bite in the bottom of each individual cup or small bowl. Add a few pieces each of prosciutto, salami, and ham alongside the egg. Tuck in assorted cheeses, fruit, a croissant or bread slice, and a sprinkling of nuts.
Garnish & Serve: Drizzle a bit of honey or add a small spoonful of jam if you like a sweet touch. Top each cup with fresh herbs for color and flavor. Serve immediately for best taste and presentation.

Notes

You can make the egg bases a day ahead and store them in the refrigerator.
Customize with your favorite meats, cheeses, or seasonal fruits.
Offer a vegetarian version by omitting meat and adding roasted veggies or extra cheese.
Best served fresh, but leftovers can be covered and stored for one day.
