Crunchy Baked Eggs Food

BAKED EGGS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Bring a kettle or small pot of water just to a simmer.
• Brush the insides of 8 small ramekins with the melted butter. Crack 1 egg into each ramekin. Add 1 tablespoon of heavy cream to each ramekin and season with salt and pepper. Add any combination of toppings to the ramekins. (Or even better, let your guests add their preferred toppings.)
• Place the ramekins in a high-sided baking dish. Pour the simmering water into the baking dish until it comes about halfway up the ramekins. Cover loosely with aluminum foil and bake until the eggs reach a custard-like consistency and the yolks are just set, 12 to 15 minutes.
• Carefully remove the ramekins from the water bath. Let cool slightly before serving.

CRUNCHY BAKED EGGS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Heat the oil, then cook the pepper until soft, stirring occasionally. Add tomatoes and basil, then cook, stirring, until the liquid has evaporated. Season, then set aside.
• Meanwhile, mix the butter and garlic together and use to butter both sides of the bread. Remove the crusts. Push the bread slices into the bases of a greased four-cup Yorkshire pudding tin and bake for 15 mins.
• Remove from the oven and divide the pepper mixture between the 4 bread-lined cups. Make a well in the centre of each, crack an egg into each well, season, then bake for 10 mins until the eggs are set. Serve hot with a green salad and some basil leaves.

THE BEST BREAKFAST EGG BAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Spray a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and cook, breaking it up and stirring with a wooden spoon, until the sausage is no longer pink and is crispy and brown in spots, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat.
• Whisk the sour cream, heavy cream, ground mustard, garlic salt, kosher salt, black pepper and eggs together in a large bowl. Add the sausage, hash browns, both cheeses, bell pepper and scallions (reserving 2 tablespoons of scallions for serving) to the egg mixture. Fold to combine.
• Unroll the crescent dough and press it into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Dock or pierce the dough with a fork, making sure the entire sheet of dough is evenly docked with holes. Pour the egg mixture over the dough and spread it evenly into the dish. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 40 minutes. Remove the foil. The egg should be somewhat set, but still wet and light in color. Return to the oven and bake uncovered until the egg is completely set and it is browned on the top and sides, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Let the bake rest for at least 10 minutes. Sprinkle with the reserved scallions and serve warm or room temperature.

CRISPY EASTER EGGS

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add the marshmallows and stir until melted. Remove from the heat, then add the rice cereal and stir until well coated.
• Take small amounts of the mixture and fill both sides of a plastic egg, slightly over-filling one side. If the mixture is too sticky, you can spray your hands with a light cooking spray. Press a chocolate egg in the center on one side of the egg, then close the plastic egg to shape it. (It should be full enough to meet with a little resistance as you close it.) Gently release the rice cereal egg from the mold, decorate with your choice of sprinkles and set aside in an egg crate until set. Repeat with the remaining rice cereal mixture and chocolate eggs.

CRISPY BAKED EGG ROLLS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°.
• Heat 1/4 cup water in a wok until simmering; cook the onion, garlic, and ginger for about 5 minutes or until the onion is soft but not browned.
• Add in the cabbage, celery, bamboo shoots, water chestnuts, and mushrooms; cook about 8 minutes or until the vegetables are softened.
• Remove wok from heat; add in the soy sauce, rice wine, and honey; toss well.
• Place the mixture in a colander over a bowl and let stand 10 minutes to drain of any excess moisture.
• Make sure your work surface is dry; stack the egg roll wrappers with 1 corner pointing away from you.
• Have a small bowl of water ready; spoon 1/4 cup of filling into the center of each wrapper.
• Lightly brush the edges of the wrapper with water.
• Fold the side corners to the center, covering the filling; next bring the bottom corner to the center, tuck slightly under the filling and continue to roll the wrapper into a cylinder, sealing the top corner by moistening it slightly with water and pressing it down.
• Place the egg rolls, seam sides down, on two nonstick baking pans without crowding; lightly brush eggrolls with sesame oil.
• Bakein the center of the oven, turning once, for 15-20 minutes or until golden and crisp.
• Remove from the oven and serve immediately.

BAKED EGGS BRUNCH

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Heat the oil in a pan and add the leeks, onions and seasoning. Cook for 15-20 mins until soft and beginning to caramelise.
• Meanwhile, put the spinach in a colander and pour over a kettle of boiling water. When cool enough to handle, squeeze out as much liquid as possible. Mix the breadcrumbs and cheese together.
• Arrange the leek and onion mixture between 4 ovenproof dishes, then scatter with the spinach and pieces of sundried tomato. Make a well in the middle of each dish and crack an egg in it. Season and sprinkle with cheese crumbs. Put the dishes on a baking tray and cook for 12-15 mins, until the whites are set and yolks are cooked to your liking.

CRISPY BAKED MERINGUES

Steps:

• Whip the egg whites and salt into peaks.
• Add the vanilla, and continue beating until the mixture forms stiff peaks.
• In a separate bowl, stir the cream of tartar into the regular sugar and whisk into the whites very gradually, a spoonful at a time, until the meringue is stiff and the sugar has dissolved.
• Sift together the icing sugar and cornstarch. Sift over the meringue and gently fold until fully incorporated.
• Pipe or spoon the meringues onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Each meringue should be about the size of a bar of soap.
• Bake at 225ºF/110ºC until cream-coloured and crisp on top when tapped, 1 to 1-1/2 hours.
• Remove from the oven. Cool on the trays. Store in an air-tight container.

NOODLES WITH CRISPY CHILLI OIL EGGS

Steps:

• To make the chilli oil, tip the shallots, garlic, cinnamon stick, star anise and oil into a wide pan (a deep frying pan is good), then bring to a gentle sizzle. Cook for 15-20 mins over a low-medium heat, stirring now and again, until the shallots and garlic are crisp and golden brown. They will burn easily if the heat is too high, so watch the pan.
• Meanwhile, toast the sesame seeds in a dry pan until golden, then tip into a bowl and set aside. Put the cumin seeds and Szechuan peppercorns in the pan and toast for 1-2 mins until aromatic. Tip into a pestle and mortar or spice grinder, and grind to a powder. Mix with the toasted sesame seeds.
• Add the ginger, chilli flakes, soy and sugar to the bowl with the toasted, ground spices. When the shallots and garlic are crisp, strain the oil over the bowl using a sieve. Leave the crispy bits of garlic and shallot in the sieve to cool and become even more crisp. Discard the cinnamon and star anise.
• Stir the cooled shallots and garlic through the spiced oil mixture. Will keep chilled for up to two weeks in an airtight, sterilised jar.
• When ready to make the noodles, heat the veg oil in a wok. Add the pak choi and stir-fry for a minute with a splash of water and a pinch of salt. Cover with a lid (or a baking tray if you don't have one). Steam for a minute, then lift the veg from the wok, letting any liquid drip off. Set aside on a plate. Put the vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil and sugar in the pan along with 2 tsp of the crispy chilli oil. Bring to a bubble, then add the noodles and toss for a few minutes over a high heat until the sauce is clinging to the noodles and they're soft and slippery. Divide the noodles between two bowls and put the pak choi on top.
• Wipe out the pan. Add another drizzle of the crispy chilli oil along with about 2 tsp of sediment from the jar. When sizzling, crack in the eggs and fry until crispy around the edge, spooning over the oil as they cook. Slide the fried eggs over the noodles, adding more crispy bits from the jar, if you like.
