PORTUGUESE EGG TARTS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Spray 12 muffin cups with cooking spray.
• Place the pie crust mix into a bowl, and lightly rub the butter and water into the mix until the mixture holds together well enough to form a ball. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface, and knead several times to make the dough more elastic. Form into a ball again, and cut the ball in half; cut each half into half again (4 pieces); cut each quarter into thirds to make 12 total pieces. Roll the pieces into balls, and set aside.
• Beat together the egg yolks, sugar, cream, milk, and vanilla extract in a bowl until light and foamy, about 3 minutes; strain the filling through a fine mesh strainer into a clean bowl.
• Press a dough ball into the bottom and about 1 1/2 inches up the sides of a prepared muffin cup; repeat for remaining dough pieces. Spoon each crust about 80 percent full of the egg yolk mixture.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the crusts are golden brown, the filling is set, and the tarts are lightly browned, 15 to 20 minutes.

EGGS PORTUGUESE STYLE

Steps:

• Heat oil in an oven-safe skillet (I use cast iron) over medium high heat. Add onion, bell pepper, garlic and zucchini. Cook 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat to medium low, cover, and cook an additional 5 minutes until zucchini is crisp tender. Add tomato sauce, parsley, basil, and oregano. Simmer, uncovered for 5 minutes until sauce thickens slightly.
• In a bowl, combine eggs, milk, salt and pepper. Whisk until blended. Pour over mixture in skillet. Cook until eggs are set, but still moist on top. Sprinkle cheese on top.
• Meanwhile, preheat broiler. Place skillet under broiler and broil until cheese melts, about 1 minute. Cut into wedges and serve.

PORTUGUESE BAKED EGGS

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large heavy pot over medium heat. Add bell peppers and onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and just beginning to brown, 10-12 minutes.
• Add tomatoes, garlic, jalapeño, basil, oregano, chili powder, and paprika to pot. Reduce heat to medium-low and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are very soft and liquid is thickened, 20-30 minutes; season with salt and pepper. Discard jalapeño.
• Preheat oven to 400°F. Transfer bell pepper mixture to a 13x9" baking dish. Using the back of a spoon, make 6 evenly spaced divots in mixture. Spoon a dollop of ricotta into each divot, then crack 1 egg into each. Top with cheddar and Parmesan; season with salt and pepper. Bake, rotating dish halfway through, until Parmesan is melted and egg whites are almost set but yolks are still runny, 15-18 minutes.
• Serve baked eggs with toast. (Yolks will continue to cook as dish sits, so serve right away if you prefer your eggs soft.)
• DO AHEAD: Bell pepper mixture can be cooked 1 day ahead. Let cool; cover and chill.

PORTUGUESE SCRAMBLED EGGS

Steps:

• Add oil to large frying pan, enough to sauté the onions. Heat to medium high heat.
• Cut the onions in quarters then slice the quarters. Add the onions to hot frying pan and sauté until softened.
• Peel and dice the tomatoes then add to the softened onions. Cook until tomatoes are tender. (See the 2nd picture).
• Beat the eggs with the hot sauce, salt and pepper then add to the frying pan, stirring to blend with the tomatoes & onions.
• Let cook slightly, then gently scramble until eggs are cooked. I like large pieces of egg when I scramble.
• Note: Serve with potatoes that have been boiled. Slice the unpeeled potatoes into 1/2" slices and boil until tender with 3 whole garlic cloves, salt and hot pepper flakes.
