Baked Eggs With Beans And Greens Food

BAKED EGGS AND GREEN BEANS

Steps:

• Adjust the cooking rack to the bottom position and preheat the toaster oven to 425°F.
• While the toaster oven preheats trim the ends of the green beans. Combine the beans and oil on a baking sheet and season with salt and pepper.
• On the same baking sheet add two lightly oiled 3-ounce ramekins. Add 1 tablespoon half and half and 2 teaspoons cheese to each ramekin. Crack an egg into each ramekin and season with salt and pepper.
• Place pan in the toaster oven and cook for 6 minutes.
• After 6 minutes, carefully remove the pan and stir the beans. Place bread slices on the edge of the pan and return to the toaster oven.
• Continue cooking until the whites of the eggs are set and the beans are a little wrinkled but still crisp-tender, about 6 to 7 minutes more.
• Top eggs with fresh herbs and serve warm.

LUCKY GREEN BAKED EGGS

Steps:

• For the eggs: Position an oven rack towards the bottom of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F.
• Heat a 10-inch saute or cast-iron pan over medium-low heat with the olive oil. Sweat the shallots until tender, about 8 minutes. Add the kale and saute until wilted, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Add the green chiles, olives, chicken stock, anchovy paste and garlic and bring to a simmer. Braise, covered, until the kale is tender and the liquid has been almost fully absorbed, about 10 minutes.
• Spread the mixture flat in the pan and make 4 wells to place the eggs. Lay a basil leaf in each well. Add an egg to each well on top of the basil leaves and sprinkle everything with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with the sun-dried tomatoes and feta.
• Bake on the bottom rack until the eggs are set but still runny, about 10 minutes.
• For the toast: Meanwhile, toast the bread in a toaster and rub with garlic cloves, then spread with the butter. Grate Pecorino over the eggs and sprinkle with chives, then serve with the toast.

BAKED EGGS WITH BEANS AND GREENS

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 375 degrees. Heat the olive oil in a 12-inch ovenproof skillet over medium heat. If using the sausage, add to the pan and cook, breaking it into 1/2-inch pieces, by pressing with the back of spatula or wooden spoon until crisp and cooked through, about 8 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
• Add the onion to the skillet and cook until softened, about 3 to 5 minutes. Add the chickpeas and the garlic and cook until the garlic is fragrant, about 1 minute. Season with salt. Add the sausage back to the pan along with the tomatoes and stir to combine. Bring to a simmer and gradually add in the chopped greens by the handful, tossing together until wilted. Season with salt.
• Using a spoon, create hollows in the sauce and gently crack the eggs into each, and season the eggs with salt and pepper. Transfer to the oven and cook until the eggs are set, about 7 to 9 minutes. Scatter the herbs on top along with a tablespoon or two of grated cheese, if using.

SUMMER BEANS WITH HARD-BOILED EGGS

Steps:

• Cook 1 1/4 pounds green and yellow wax beans in boiling salted water until crisp-tender, 4 to 5 minutes. Drain and blot dry. Whisk 2 tablespoons each white wine vinegar and olive oil and 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard in a large bowl until smooth. Toss with the beans; season with salt and pepper. Top with 2 chopped hard-boiled eggs; sprinkle with chopped chives and pepper.

BAKED EGGS AND BEANS ON TOAST

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Heat 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until golden, about 5 minutes. Add the tomato paste and cook, stirring, 1 more minute. Stir in the vinegar, honey mustard, Worcestershire sauce, 1/2 cup water, and salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a simmer, then add the beans, plus the liquid from one of the cans. Cook until the beans are soft, about 5 more minutes.
• Make eight indentations in the bean mixture and crack an egg into each. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and transfer to the oven. Bake until the egg whites are set, 10 to 14 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brush the bread with olive oil on both sides and toast in the skillet, 1 minute per side. Toss the tomatoes, parsley, the remaining 1/2 tablespoon olive oil, and salt and pepper to taste in a bowl. Divide the toast among plates; top each with 2 eggs, some beans and the tomato salad.

BEANS-AND-GREENS PASTA WITH FRIED EGGS

Steps:

• Bring a large saucepan filled two-thirds full of water to a boil. Add a small handful of salt and the spaghetti. Cook for 2 minutes less than the package directions recommend.
• Meanwhile, heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Spoon four 1-tablepoon rounds of Parmesan into the skillet, leaving space between each. Cook until the cheese is melted and the edges are lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Using a thin spatula, flip the rounds and cook until golden and the chips start to stiffen, 1 to 3 minutes longer. Transfer the frico to a plate to cool and crisp. Do not wipe out the skillet.
• Drain the spaghetti in a colander and rinse under cool water to prevent sticking. Wipe out the saucepan the pasta was cooked in. Place over medium heat and add the oil. Add the onion, garlic and a generous pinch each of salt and pepper. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until softened and just starting to brown, 6 to 8 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat the same skillet over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the skillet and sprinkle with salt. Immediately reduce the heat to low and cook until the whites are firm but the yolks are still runny, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Add the broth to onion and garlic in the saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Stir in the chickpeas and lemon zest and juice. Add the spinach, pasta and the remaining 1/4 cup of Parmesan. Cook over medium heat, tossing gently, until the spinach is just wilted and the pasta is heated through; season with salt and pepper.
• Divide the pasta among shallow bowls. Top each with a fried egg and a crumbled frico. Serve with more Parmesan.

SAUCY BEAN BAKED EGGS

Steps:

• Tip the tomatoes and bean salad into an ovenproof frying pan or shallow flameproof casserole dish. Simmer for 10 mins, or until reduced. Stir in the spinach and cook for 5 mins more until wilted.
• Heat the grill to medium. Make four indentations in the mixture using the back of a spoon, then crack one egg in each. Nestle the ham in the mixture, then grill for 4-5 mins, or until the whites are set and the yolks runny. Serve with rye bread, if you like.
