Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 small onion, thinly sliced
1 cup cherry or grape tomatoes
1 large bunch Swiss chard, chopped (leaves and stems separated)
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
7 large eggs
1/2 cup whole milk
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh sage
4 1-inch-thick slices brioche
4 slices Jarlsberg or gruyere cheese (about 3 ounces)
1/4 cup hot honey

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 200˚ F. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion, tomatoes and chard stems and cook until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes. Add the chard leaves and cook, stirring, until wilted, about 3 minutes; season with salt and pepper. Transfer to an ovenproof dish and keep warm in the oven. Wipe out the skillet and return to the stovetop.
  • Whisk 3 eggs, the milk, sage, 1 teaspoon pepper and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a baking dish. Lay the bread in the dish, flipping the slices once or twice to fully soak. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in the skillet over medium heat. Carefully lift the bread from the egg mixture, letting the excess drip off. Cook in the skillet until golden, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a baking sheet, top each with a slice of cheese and melt in the oven.
  • Wipe out the skillet and heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium-high heat. Crack in the remaining 4 eggs and cook until the whites are set, about 5 minutes. Divide the French toast among plates. Top each with the vegetables and a fried egg; season with salt and pepper. Drizzle with the hot honey.

EGG-IN-A-HOLE WITH ASPARAGUS



Egg-in-a-Hole With Asparagus image

What would you get if you crossed savory Parmesan French toast with egg-in-a-hole and served it beneath a pile of roasted asparagus? An easy, vegetable-focused brunch or light dinner that you can make on a single sheet pan. The key here is to use wide slices of bread large enough to hold two eggs each: Choose slices from the middle of the loaf. (If your bread slices are smaller, just use one egg in each.) Feel free to substitute other quick-roasting vegetables for the asparagus. Broccoli florets, halved cherry tomatoes or brussels sprouts, or sliced mushrooms will all work equally well. And if you want to double the recipe, use two sheet pans, arranging the bread on one and the asparagus on the other.

Categories     breakfast, brunch, vegetables, main course

Time 30m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled
5 large eggs
1/3 cup whole milk
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 wide slices sturdy country white bread, such as sourdough or peasant bread (preferably from the middle of the loaf)
8 ounces asparagus, trimmed
3 scallions, thinly sliced
3 fresh thyme sprigs
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 425 degrees. Grease a rimmed sheet pan with 1 tablespoon melted butter.
  • In a large, shallow dish, whisk together 1 egg, milk, 1/4 cup Parmesan, a large pinch of salt and pepper, and the remaining tablespoon melted butter. Add bread and let soak for about 2 minutes per side. The bread should be soft and soaked through, but not falling apart.
  • Arrange soaked bread on one side of the prepared sheet pan. Pour any remaining soaking mixture from bowl onto the bread slices. Using a cookie cutter or a knife, carefully cut 2 (2 1/2-inch) holes in each slice of soaked bread, making 4 holes in total. Place the cut-out rounds alongside the bread slices on the pan.
  • On the other side of the sheet pan, add the asparagus, half of the scallions (save the rest for garnish), thyme and a large pinch of salt and pepper. Drizzle asparagus with olive oil, tossing well, and spread into an even single layer.
  • Bake until bread is golden on top, 10 minutes. If the asparagus is tender and browned after 10 minutes, use tongs to transfer the stalks to a plate and tent with foil to keep warm. Thick asparagus may need more time, in which case leave it in the pan for the next step.
  • Using a spatula, flip the bread slices and cut-outs. Crack the remaining 4 eggs into the holes (the eggs may overflow a bit, and that is OK). Season eggs lightly with salt and pepper. Sprinkle remaining 2 tablespoons Parmesan on top of eggs and bread.
  • Return pan to the oven and bake until eggs are barely set, about 5 to 7 minutes. The yolks and even some of the whites should jiggle slightly. (Note that the eggs will continue to cook on the sheet pan once out of the oven, so if you like runny yolks, err on the side of early removal.) However, if the egg whites are still translucent, bake for another minute or two.
  • To serve, place egg toasts on plates, top each toast with half the asparagus (discarding the thyme sprigs) and garnish with reserved scallions.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your dish.
  • Don't overcook the eggs. They should be cooked through but still slightly runny in the center.
  • Use a good quality bread. A hearty, sturdy bread will hold up well to the eggs and cheese.
  • Be generous with the cheese. It's what makes this dish so rich and flavorful.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different ingredients. You can add other vegetables, herbs, or spices to taste.

Conclusion:

Eggs and savory French toast with cheese and asparagus is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own tastes. With its combination of savory and sweet flavors, this dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
