From Real Simple Magazine and it is real simple to make! EDIT: After reading some of the reviews, you may want to reduce the amount of eggs.

Fantastic recipe!! I just tryed it this morning and thought it was amazing! I didnt have sandwich buns, but I did have som eleft over Hawaiin Sweet Bread rolls left, and it add SUCH a flavor! The sweetness of the bread brought the saltyness of the prosciutto. It complimented each other greatly! Try it!
