Parma Style Scrambled Eggs Parmesan Sauce Food

GRANDMA'S ITALIAN EGGPLANT PARMIGIANA

Steps:

• Lay eggplant slices on top of paper towels and sprinkle with sea salt to draw out moisture. Cover with additional paper towels. Let sit, 8 hours to overnight.
• Place flour into a 1-gallon plastic zip-top bag. Sprinkle salt and pepper into the flour and shake the bag to mix. Place 6 eggplant slices into the bag, seal, and shake to coat.
• Beat eggs and water together using a fork in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
• Heat 2 inches of oil over medium-high heat in a 10-inch cast iron skillet. Line baking sheets with paper towels to drain eggplants after frying.
• Shake excess flour from eggplant slices and place into egg mixture, turning to ensure both sides are coated. Allow excess egg mixture to drip off before placing slices into the hot oil. Fry until slightly golden, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to the paper towel-lined baking sheets. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon Pecorino Romano cheese. Repeat process until all eggplant slices are fried. Let cool slightly, about 5 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Pour a small amount of tomato sauce into the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking pan to cover. Place 1/3 of the eggplant slices over sauce, slightly overlapping them. Sprinkle 1/3 of the remaining Pecorino-Romano cheese and Parmesan cheese evenly over the slices. Cover with a light layer of sauce. Sprinkle 1/3 of the mozzarella cheese over sauce. Repeat for a total of 3 layers.
• Bake in the preheated oven until bubbly, about 40 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes to set.

CRISPY PARMESAN EGGS

Steps:

• Brush oil onto bottom of 10-inch nonstick or well-seasoned cast-iron skillet; place over medium heat. Sprinkle 1/2 cup cheese evenly onto bottom of skillet; cook 2 min. or until cheese begins to melt.
• Slip cracked eggs, one at a time, over cheese, leaving spaces between eggs; cover skillet with lid. Cook 3 to 4 min. or until egg whites are almost set; remove lid. Cook eggs additional 2 to 3 min. or until whites are set, edges of whites are crisp and golden brown, and yolks are cooked to desired doneness. Remove from heat.
• Sprinkle eggs with remaining cheese. Serve with toast slices.

PARMESAN SCRAMBLED EGGS

Steps:

• Put Smart Balance in a small saute pan on medium heat to melt.
• Put eggs, Parmesan, half-and-half, salt, pepper, chives, parsley and liquid butter into a blender (I use my magic bullet) or you can use a mixer, and mix shortly just until well blended (if you blend too long it will get foamy).
• Pour mixture into your pan with the melted butter and start whisking with a rubber whisk. Whisk constantly or the eggs will start to stick to the pan and you will not get the same taste.
• When the eggs are starting to get thicker add the shredded cheese and continue whisking until mixture is well cooked (you don't want them totally dry, just a bit moist).
• Take out of pan and serve while still warm.

PARMESAN EGGS

Steps:

• Set aside 2 tablespoons of the Parmesan. Sprinkle the remaining Parmesan in an 8-inch ring around the edge of a large nonstick skillet, leaving a 7-inch empty circle in the center. Sprinkle the reserved Parmesan in a line down the center of the circle, dividing it into 2 half-circles. Heat the skillet over medium-low heat.
• Gently crack an egg into each half-circle and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cover the skillet and cook, undisturbed, until the whites are almost set and the cheese has melted, 3 to 4 minutes. Uncover and cook until the cheese is browned but the egg yolks are still runny, 1 to 2 minutes more. Gently slide the eggs onto a serving plate. The cheese will crisp as it cools.

PARMA-STYLE SCRAMBLED EGGS & PARMESAN SAUCE

Steps:

• FOR THE EGGS:.
• In a non-stick sauté pan, cook the butter (or olive oil), garlic, and onion over medium heat. Cook until the onion is soft and the garlic is starting to brown, which will take about three to four minutes.
• Transfer the onion and garlic to a large bowl. Add to this bowl the eggs, cream, salt, pepper, and parmesan cheese. Mix well.
• Then add the egg mixture to the pan, stirring well, until the eggs are scrambled soft, which will take about three minutes using medium-high heat.
• FOR THE SAUCE:.
• In a small non-stick saucepan, cook the cream over medium heat until the cream is reduced by a third. This will require about five minutes. Add the grated parmesan cheese and stir well until the cheese is completely melted. The sauce is now ready to be used. Keep warm over low heat.
• Serve the sauce spooned over the scrambled eggs and garnish with a sprinkling of chopped parsley.
