I like the idea of the muffin tin version with a poached egg on top. I do like it just cured, but find the fat a little tough at times.

Hi
I find that when I cook prosciutto that it has a gamey flavor. I prefer it raw.

It's not "raw", it's cured with salt and cooked or smoked. No one eats raw pork for very long. They usually, die., or at the very least, get quite sick.
