EGGS EN COCOTTE: BAKED EGGS IN RAMEKINS WITH SPINACH & PANCETTA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350ºF (180ºC).
• Heat a medium sauté pan over medium heat. Add the pancetta and cook, stirring occasionally, until crispy, about 6 minutes.
• Add the butter and allow to melt. Add the shallots and sauté until soft and translucent, about 4 minutes.
• Add the garlic and sauté until fragrant, for about 10 seconds before adding the spinach. Cook the spinach until wilted, about 4 minutes.
• Season the spinach with salt and pepper then remove from pan and set aside the filling aside in a small bowl.
• Rub the inside of the ramekins with butter then divide the spinach and pancetta filling among the ramekins.
• Crack two eggs into each ramekin then add a tablespoon of cream to each. Top with a tablespoon of Parmesan.
• Add the ramekins to a baking pan and fill the pan with boiling water so it reaches about half way up the ramekins.
• Bake uncovered until the egg whites are just set and the yolks are soft and runny, about 10 to 15 minutes depending on the thickness of the ramekins.
• Remove from the oven and garnish with the shaved Parmesan and chives. Serve immediately with a side of toast.

FRIED SPAGHETTI WITH EGGS

Steps:

• Begin by separating the room temperature eggs. In a small bowl, you will want to have egg whites. Set aside. In a medium-sized bowl, you will need to put the egg yolks. You want the yolk bowl a bit bigger bowl to add the parmesan. Whisk the eggs so that yolks are creamy. Whisk in 2 Tablespoons of the parmesan cheese with the yolks and set aside keeping it at room temperature.
• Once both cloves of garlic are crushed, the peel falls right off. Remove the peels. Warm the olive oil in a 10" skillet over medium-low heat for 1 minute. Reduce to low heat and add the crushed garlic and let it warm in the olive oil slowly for 3-4 minutes. Once the garlic is just starting to brown, you want to remove it. You do not want to burn or "cook" the garlic, it is more about getting the essence of the garlic to flavor the olive oil slowly.
• Add the pasta and stir to combine and coat with the garlic-infused oil. Let it fry in the skillet on medium-high heat in an even layer for 5 minutes. Toss with tongs every minute or so to ensure all sides of the spaghetti get fried.
• Turn the heat down to low and let the heat come down for 2 minutes. To the spaghetti add the egg whites to cook over low heat. Gently scramble them and coat the pasta. Once heated through and combine, try and get it in a single layer in the pan so some of the pasta and eggs can fry a bit. You don't want to burn the eggs but get them a little bit fried. Turn off the heat to cool it a bit from the fried stage. You want it warm but not blazing hot.
• Add two tablespoons of the egg yolk mixture to the warm pasta. Toss with tongs to combine so the warm pasta can gently warm up the egg yolks. Do not add it HOT or all of the egg yolks at once as it will cook/scramble the egg yolks. You want the egg yolks to combine with the pasta slowly and warm just enough to create a creamy sauce. Add a small amount of pasta at a time, stir and repeat 2-3x. Once all the egg yolk mixture is combined with the pasta, add additional parmesan cheese at this time and toss in the pan with tongs.
• Divide the fried spaghetti into two pasta bowls. Top with fresh parsley and additional parmesan cheese as a topping. Also, add salt & fresh cracked pepper to taste and serve.
• Enjoy immediately.
