SPICY EGGS IN PURGATORY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
• In a 12-inch cast-iron skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sausage and begin to brown, stirring to break into small pieces, about 4 minutes. Add the fennel and onion and raise the heat to high; continue to cook until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes. Add the anchovy, paprika, garlic and a pinch of pepperoncini and cook for 1 more minute. Add the wine and deglaze. Add the tomatoes and bring to a simmer. Allow to simmer and reduce, 10 to 15 minutes. Stir in the capers and half the parsley. Lower the heat.
• Make 4 wells in the mixture, then place an egg into each. Sprinkle the whole dish with salt and pepper. Bake 8 to 12 minutes, depending on how you prefer your eggs. Garnish with the remaining pinch pepperoncini, the habanero if using, the remaining parsley and pecorino. Serve warm with the garlic-rubbed baguette, if using.

BAKED EGGS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375°F and grease a 4.5-inch ramekin with the olive oil. Place it on a baking sheet (the baking sheet makes it easier to move the ramekin in and out of the oven).
• Crack 2 eggs into the ramekin and bake for 10 to 15 minutes (we do about 12), or until the egg whites are just set and the yolk is still runny. If using a muffin tin, bake 9 to 12 minutes. Be careful not to overcook, the baked eggs should look a little underdone as you take them out. They'll set a bit more as they cool out of the oven.
• Top the baked eggs with feta, chives, dill, asparagus, peas, and/or microgreens, if desired, or see the blog post above for additional topping ideas.

ZESTY BAKED EGGS

Steps:

• Combine mayonnaise and seasonings in a medium sized pot or pan.
• Gradually add milk stirring, after each addition until smooth.
• Add cheese and cook over low heat until cheese is melted.
• Pour 2 Tbsp of the sauce into each of 4 individual greased custard cups or small sized ramekins. Break 2 eggs into each dish. Top with remaining sauce.
• Place in 9 X 13 casserole dish and add boiling water to the casserole dish to about 1/3 to 1/2 full.
• Bake 15 minutes or until eggs are of desired consistency.

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.

ZUCCHINI NOODLE EGG NESTS

Steps:

• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the oil and onion and cook, stirring frequently, until the onion starts to turn translucent and brown at the edges, about 4 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes and basil. Season with the crushed red pepper flakes and 1 teaspoon salt. Bring to a simmer, then reduce to low and cook until the tomatoes are reduced slightly and the flavors are combined, about 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Spray a 6-cup muffin pan with nonstick cooking spray. Arrange the zucchini noodles in little nests in each cup, making sure there is an indention in the center for the egg. Sprinkle each nest with 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan. Spoon 2 to 3 tablespoons of sauce into each nest. Make an indentation in the middle of the sauce with your spoon for the egg. Crack an egg into each nest. Sprinkle the eggs with the 1/2 teaspoon salt and the remaining Parmesan.
• Bake until the eggs are mostly set but still a little jiggly, 15 to 20 minutes. Gently remove the nests using an offset spatula or butter knife; they should slide right out of their cups. Serve hot with the remaining sauce and a sprinkle of torn fresh basil.

ZESTY LIME EGGS

Steps:

• Rub your butter around your pan and put the pan on medium heat, allow the pan to heat up .
• Cut the mini lime into fourths and set aside. if you would like scrambled eggs, whisk your egg in a bowl with 1/4 cup of milk and the juice if 2 , mini lime slices.
• When the pan reaches desired temperature, squeeze a slice of lime to flavor the bottom of the pan for the egg. Put the egg in and squeeze another slice on top of the egg. if you are making the scrambled variation, skip adding more lime. Sprinkle the ground cayenne pepper onto the egg and cook the egg.
• If you are making over easy eggs, watch the egg carefully so that the yolk doesn't cook to much. For scrambled, make sure all ingredients are spread throughout the egg so that you don't end up with some areas being under seasoned, or a pocket of seasonings.
• When the egg is done, serve and enjoy! With my family, its a hit. I hope you and your family likes it too.

SAUCY BEAN BAKED EGGS

Steps:

• Tip the tomatoes and bean salad into an ovenproof frying pan or shallow flameproof casserole dish. Simmer for 10 mins, or until reduced. Stir in the spinach and cook for 5 mins more until wilted.
• Heat the grill to medium. Make four indentations in the mixture using the back of a spoon, then crack one egg in each. Nestle the ham in the mixture, then grill for 4-5 mins, or until the whites are set and the yolks runny. Serve with rye bread, if you like.

ZESTY DEVILED EGGS

Steps:

• Cut eggs lengthwise in half. Slip out yolks and mash with fork in small bowl.
• Stir in remaining ingredients except egg white halves.
• Fill egg white halves with egg yolk mixture, heaping it lightly. Garnish with parsley or sprinkle with paprika.

SMOKY BEANS & BAKED EGGS

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a wide, shallow pan and cook the onion for 8-10 mins until softened. Add the pepper and cook for another 5 mins, stirring regularly, until softened. Stir in the garlic, paprika and ketchup, then tip in the tomatoes, cover and leave to simmer gently for 10 mins. Remove the lid and cook for a few more minutes to thicken, then add the beans. Can be cooled and frozen in portions at this stage.
• Use a spoon to make 4-6 spaces in the mixture for the eggs - you should be able to see some of the bottom of the pan. Crack the eggs one by one into a cup or bowl and gently drop one into each hole. Cover the pan and reduce the heat to low. Cook for 3-5 mins until the egg whites are cooked through but the yolks are still runny. Scatter over the coriander to serve.
