Western Herb Eggs Food

BAKED EGGS WITH HERBS

Steps:

• Set oven to 350ºF or Mark 4.
• Lightly grease a large oven proof dish with the butter and sprinkle 4 oz of the cheese evenly over the base.
• Break the eggs carefully into the dish, one at a time, keeping whole and seasoning lightly.
• Mix the herbs together and sprinkle over, then carefully spoon the cream over the egg yolks and top with the remaining cheese.
• Bake for 20 minutes, or until lightly golden and serve accompanied by crusty bread and butter.

WESTERN SKILLET EGGS

Steps:

• Position a rack in the upper third of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Whisk the half-and-half, cayenne, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and black pepper to taste in a small bowl.
• Heat the olive oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shallots and cook until just softened, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the bell peppers; cook until the peppers are soft and the shallots are golden, 5 to 6 more minutes. Add the tomatoes, ham, bread, parsley and 1/4 cup water and cook until most of the liquid is absorbed, about 3 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper. Remove from the heat.
• Make 8 evenly spaced indentations in the bread mixture with the bottom of a ladle or small measuring cup. Crack an egg into each indentation. Slowly pour the half-and-half mixture over the eggs. Bake, rotating the skillet a few times, until the whites are set, about 15 minutes. Top with parsley.

SCRAMBLED EGGS WITH MIXED HERBS

Steps:

• Whisk together eggs, 1 teaspoon water, and coarse salt in a bowl. Heat a small nonstick skillet over medium-high. Swirl in butter and heat until foamy. Add egg mixture and cook, using a heatproof flexible spatula to push eggs toward center of pan to form large, soft curds, about 30 seconds.
• While eggs are still slightly runny, remove from heat and stir in herbs. Sprinkle with flaky salt and serve, with baguette and chives.

HERBED-BAKED EGGS

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler for 5 minutes and place the oven rack 6 inches below the heat.
• Combine the garlic, thyme, rosemary, parsley, and Parmesan and set aside. Carefully crack 3 eggs into each of 2 small bowls or teacups (you won't be baking them in these) without breaking the yolks. (It's very important to have all the eggs ready to go before you start cooking.)
• Place 2 individual gratin dishes on a baking sheet. Place 1 tablespoon of cream and 1/2 tablespoon of butter in each dish and place under the broiler for about 3 minutes, until hot and bubbly. Quickly, but carefully, pour 3 eggs into each gratin dish and sprinkle evenly with the herb mixture, then sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper. Place back under the broiler for 5 to 6 minutes, until the whites of the eggs are almost cooked. (Rotate the baking sheet once if they aren't cooking evenly.) The eggs will continue to cook after you take them out of the oven. Allow to set for 60 seconds and serve hot with toasted bread.

SLOW-COOKED SCRAMBLED EGGS WITH GREEN HERBS

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt pepper, parsley, scallions and dill. Melt the butter in a large saute or omelet pan. Add the egg mixture and cook them over low heat, folding them over almost constantly with a rubber spatula, until the desired doneness. Check for seasonings. Serve hot.

SCRAMBLED EGGS WITH HERBS

Steps:

• Whisk together the eggs, milk, chives, parsley and tarragon in a medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
• Melt the butter in a medium nonstick skillet over medium to medium-low heat. When the butter's foam begins to subside, add the egg mixture and cook, stirring almost constantly, for 4 to 7 minutes depending on the desired firmness of the eggs. Serve immediately.
