How To Make bonnie's meatloaf with prosciutto surprise

1MAKE THE PROSCIUTTO EGGS Place eggs from the fridge into a sauce pan and cover with cold water, add a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, don't boil fast, just keep the water moving. Set the timer for 10 minutes. Remove as soon as it dings. Run cold water over the eggs until the water is cool, add ice to cool off the eggs. Then peel them. Wrap them in one piece of prosciutto like I did in my photo. Set aside.
