ROASTED VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425 degrees. Toss vegetables with oil, salt, and pepper. Roast, 30 minutes to an hour, stirring at least once or twice during roasting for even cooking and browning.
• Serve with fried eggs and/or yogurt, ground black pepper and plenty of torn herbs on top.

ROASTED ROOT VEGETABLES WITH EGGS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 F (220 C).
• Put the beets, 1 tablespoon of the olive oil, and 1/8 teaspoon salt on a sheet of aluminum foil and wrap thoroughly. Roast for about 1 hour and 30 minutes
• Meanwhile, toss the apple, turnips and carrots with 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt, and the rosemary. Place on a baking sheet and roast beside the beets until browned, 15 to 20 minutes longer, and the beets are fork-tender. While warm, but not hot, rub the skin off the beets with a paper towel or clean kitchen towel. Slice the beets.
• When everything is roasted, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and the garlic in a large saute pan over medium-high until browned and fragrant. Discard the garlic. Add the beet greens and capers and saute until wilted. Add the roasted vegetables and saute until heated through. Taste for salt and adjust as needed. Remove from the heat, toss with the mustard and parsley, and set aside.
• When it comes to frying the eggs, you may need to either work in batches or have two pans going at once. Heat 1 tablespoon of the butter in a nonstick saute pan over high heat. Crack 2 eggs into a small bowl and gently slide them into the butter. (If you break a yolk, discard the egg and try again.) Reduce the heat to medium and cook until the whites are set but the yolks are runny, about 2 minutes. When ready, give the pan a gentle shake to loosen the eggs.
• Meanwhile, mound the roasted vegetables onto two plates. Slide the eggs on the vegetables, and sprinckle with fleur de sel. Repeat with any remaining butter and eggs.
• The roasted vegetable mixture keeps, refrigerated, for up to 2 days.

HEAVY CREAM FRIED EGGS

Steps:

• Add the heavy cream, thyme sprigs, garlic, red pepper flakes, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper to an 8-inch nonstick skillet. Crack the eggs on top and season with 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper. Bring to a simmer over medium-low heat and cook until the cream starts to caramelize around the edges and the egg whites are just set, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat and cover with a tight-fitting lid until the yolks are slightly firm but still a bit runny, about 1 minute. Use a spatula to remove the eggs to a plate; discard the thyme sprigs.

TOMATO GRITS WITH FRIED EGGS

Steps:

• Grate 3 tomatoes into a bowl, discarding any remaining skin. Chop the remaining tomato and set aside. Bring 3 cups water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Add the grits and the grated tomatoes; reduce the heat to medium and cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from the heat and cover to keep warm.
• Meanwhile, cook the bacon in a medium nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, turning, until crisp, about 8 minutes. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate; discard all but 1 tablespoon drippings from the skillet. Let the bacon cool slightly, then crumble. Heat the bacon drippings over medium-high heat. Crack in the eggs and cook until the whites are set and the yolks are cooked to desired doneness, 2 to 5 minutes.
• Top each serving of grits with bacon, chopped tomato, cheese and a fried egg; season with salt and pepper.

ROASTED-VEGETABLE SALAD WITH POACHED EGGS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees. On a rimmed baking sheet, toss potatoes, onion, carrots, beet, and rosemary with 2 tablespoons oil; season with salt and pepper. Roast vegetables until golden and tender, about 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a straight-sided skillet, heat 2 inches water over medium until a few bubbles rise to the top. Crack eggs, one at a time, into a small bowl and gently pour into skillet. Cook, undisturbed, until whites are just set and yolks are still runny, 3 to 4 minutes. With a slotted spoon, transfer eggs to a paper-towel-lined plate.
• Transfer roasted vegetables to a large bowl and toss with lettuce, lemon juice, and remaining tablespoon oil; season with salt and pepper. Divide among four plates, top with poached eggs, and serve with lemon wedges.
