Baked Eggs With Lentils image

A dish inspired by Spain that is ideal for supper or brunch. Sometimes I make it as a dip and served with pita without the eggs.

Time 1h30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/2 cup green lentil
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1 green pepper, seeded and diced
1 red pepper, seeded and diced
1 lb tomatoes, peeled and chopped
2 tablespoons parsley, finely chopped
1 bay leaf
4 tablespoons water
salt and pepper
4 eggs
2 tablespoons sherry wine, pale dry
fresh parsley sprig

Steps:

  • Bring the lentils to the boil in a large kettle of water and simmer, covered, for 35-40 minutes until soft. Drain.
  • Heat the oil in a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan and fry the onion, garlic and peppers gently until soft, about 5 minutes.
  • Mix in the cooked lentils and the tomatoes, parsley, bay leaf and water. Season well. Cook over moderate heat, stirring, for 10-15 minutes, or until most of the liquid has evaporated and the mixture is fairly thick.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Spoon the mixture into a lightly greased ovenproof dish, removing the bay leaf. Make four slight hollows with the back of a spoon. Break in the eggs. Sprinkle with the sherry, cover and bake for 20 minutes, or until the egg whites are firm.
  • Serve at once, garnished with the parsley sprigs.

This recipe is a great way to get your kids to eat vegetables. My kids loved the cheesy eggs and they didn't even notice the lentils or the spinach.

I added some chopped spinach to this dish and it was delicious. The spinach added a nice pop of color and nutrition.

I'm not a big fan of runny eggs, so I cooked mine a little longer than the recipe called for. They turned out perfectly!

I'm not a big fan of lentils, but I loved this dish. The eggs and cheese helped to mask the flavor of the lentils. I would definitely make this dish again.

I followed the recipe exactly and the eggs turned out perfectly. They were cooked through but still had a slightly runny yolk. The lentils were also very flavorful. I will definitely be making this dish again!
