SKILLET EGGS WITH MUSHROOMS AND ASPARAGUS



Skillet Eggs with Mushrooms and Asparagus image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 bunch asparagus, trimmed and cut into large pieces
4 ounces oyster mushrooms, trimmed and torn
5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 cloves garlic, grated
2 teaspoons fresh thyme
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
8 large eggs
1/2 baguette, sliced on the bias
Chopped fresh parsley, grated parmesan cheese and red pepper flakes, for topping

Steps:

  • Preheat a grill to medium high. Put the asparagus and mushrooms in separate bowls; toss each with 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 garlic clove, 1 teaspoon thyme and a pinch each of salt and pepper. Place the asparagus and mushrooms on opposite sides of a grill basket and grill, tossing occasionally, until tender and browned around the edges, about 3 minutes for the asparagus and 7 minutes for the mushrooms. Remove to a large plate.
  • Heat a large cast-iron skillet on the grill; add the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil. Crack the eggs into a bowl, then pour into the skillet; season with salt. Scatter the vegetables around the egg whites, avoiding the yolks. Cook, rotating the skillet, until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny, 5 to 8 minutes. Meanwhile, grill the bread until lightly charred, 1 minute per side.
  • Remove the skillet from the grill and sprinkle with parsley, parmesan and red pepper flakes. Serve with the grilled bread.

1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 large egg
2 slices Canadian bacon
1/3 cup shredded Swiss cheese
1 teaspoon honey mustard

  • Crack the egg into the hole and season with salt and pepper, and cook until golden brown, about 2 minutes.
  • Flip the egg bread, sprinkle half of the cheese on bread and top with ham. Spread mustard on second piece of bread and close sandwich.

EGG IN A BASKET GRILLED CHEESE WITH ASPARAGUS



Egg in a Basket Grilled Cheese With Asparagus image

Okay, so you make egg in a basket, then the other slice of bread has gruyere cheese and asparagus! I'm excited just thinking about it. Recipe from Cooking Stoned.

Provided by Sharon123

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 10m

Yield 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 egg
1 slice bread
1/2 tablespoon butter
1/3 cup gruyere
5 asparagus spears, blanched
1/2 tablespoon butter

Steps:

  • This is probably the most important part of making this dish-the size of the hole. You want the hole big enough to hold the egg and fry it in the bread but not SO big that it doesn't fill the hole. Making the hole too small has the opposite affect, and the egg overruns.
  • Add the butter to your frying pan and melt it over a medium-high heat. I add in the bread and toast both sides before adding the egg, but this isn't required. It is just a preference. If you do this, you might need a bit more butter for frying the egg itself.
  • Crack the egg into the "basket" and let it cook until the white are set. Or you can flip it.
  • Place the asparagus in a steamer and steam 3-5 minutes. You want it crisp tender.
  • Take your slice of bread, pile on the 5 spears of asparagus and the 1/3 cup of Gruyere. Place it on a parchment-lined baking sheet and put it in the broiler until the cheese fully melts. This should take about 2 minutes or so.
  • When the cheese is melted and the Egg in the Basket is made, transfer the bottom half of the sandwich to the frying pan, melting the butter in the pan first.
  • Fry it all up, carefully flipping it to melt the cheese into the Egg in a Basket.
  • Enjoy!

SKILLET-BAKED EGGS AND ASPARAGUS



Skillet-Baked Eggs and Asparagus image

Asparagus and eggs have an affinity for each other. The voluptuous yolk softens and smoothes the grassy sharpness of the vegetable, while the asparagus brightens up the dull richness of the egg. The pair's most classic expression is asparagus hollandaise, but that is too fussy and time-consuming a preparation for a regular home-cooked breakfast. This dish combines the flavors in a time- and cook-friendly way.

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 tablespoons olive oil, more for drizzling
3/4 pounds asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1/2-inch pieces

1/3 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan
Salt
black pepper, to taste
Lemon wedges, for serving
Flaky sea salt for sprinkling
