EGG & TOMATO STRATA RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and salt.
• Add the bread and toss so that all of the bread is saturated with liquid.
• Refrigerate the mixture and let it sit for at least 2 hours and up to overnight.
• Take the egg and bread mixture out of the fridge and add the tomatoes, chickpeas, basil, and goat cheese to the mixing bowl. Toss everything together to thoroughly combine.
• When you're ready to bake the strata, preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
• Heat olive oil in a large, oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Swirl the oil to coat the bottom and at least an inch (2 cm) up the sides.
• Pour the combined ingredients into the skillet, then use a spatula to spread everything evenly over the skillet, pressing the bread into a flat, even layer.
• Bake the strata in the preheated oven until the eggs are completely set and the edges are golden brown, 35 to 40 minutes.
• Take the strata out of the oven and let it sit in the pan for at least 15 minutes.
• Flip the cooled strata out of the pan and onto a cutting board, then slice it into four portions.
• Eat immediately, or let the strata cool completely before storing in an airtight container in the fridge.
• Note: To reheat the strata: Microwave for 1 minute on high, or reheat in a 375°F (190°C) oven for 5 minutes, just to heat through.
• Enjoy!

SOFT SCRAMBLED EGGS WITH PESTO AND FRESH RICOTTA

Steps:

• Over medium-high heat, melt butter in a medium-size skillet, preferably well-seasoned cast iron or nonstick.
• Beat eggs with salt, pepper and, if using, Parmesan cheese. Pour eggs into pan, swirl and turn heat to low. Using a heat-proof rubber spatula, stir eggs constantly until very loosely set and slightly runnier than you like them.
• Remove pan from heat and drizzle pesto on eggs. Off heat, give eggs one more gentle stir -- enough to finish cooking them and to distribute pesto in dark green streaks. Scatter ricotta on eggs and drizzle with more pesto if desired. Serve at once.

ROASTED RATATOUILLE AND EGGS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 500 degrees, with a large ovenproof skillet on center rack. Cut eggplants in half lengthwise, then crosswise into 1/2-inch pieces (you should have 3 cups). Mince 3 garlic cloves. Remove skillet from oven; carefully add eggplants, tomatoes, peppers, thyme sprigs, minced garlic, capers, and oil (it will spatter). Season with salt and pepper; toss to combine. Roast, stirring twice, until eggplants are soft and tomatoes have burst and are beginning to char, about 15 minutes.
• Make 4 wells in mixture; crack 1 egg into each. Season eggs with salt and pepper. Roast, rotating halfway through, until whites are set but yolks are still soft, 4 to 6 minutes. Remove from oven; let stand 3 minutes. Rub toast with remaining garlic clove; drizzle with oil. Serve eggs and ratatouille over toast, sprinkled with thyme.
