Categories     main-dish

Time 37m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 teaspoon unsalted butter
4 thin slices Virginia ham, about 1/2-ounce each
8 large eggs
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
8 tablespoons heavy cream
8 tablespoons grated Swiss cheese
2 teaspoons chopped parsley leaves
1 teaspoon chopped fresh chives

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Butter 4 (6-ounce) creme brulee ramekins with the butter and lay 1 slice of ham in each ramekin so that it sits flat on the bottom (it's ok if it comes up the sides.) Crack 2 eggs into 2 separate small cups and pour simultaneously into 1 of the ramekins so that the eggs sit side by side on top of the ham slice. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Repeat with remaining eggs. Place the 4 filled ramekins onto a baking sheet and transfer to the oven. Bake until eggs are just beginning to set up and become opaque, 9 to 10 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and drizzle each ramekin with 2 tablespoons of the heavy cream and then sprinkle 2 tablespoons of the cheese over the top of each. Sprinkle the parsley and chives over the ramekins and then return to the oven. Cook until eggs are just set up but yolks are still runny, 10 to 12 minutes, or to desired degree of doneness. Remove from the oven and serve immediately.

BLACK-EYED PEAS WITH COLLARD GREENS



Black-Eyed Peas With Collard Greens image

Black-eyed peas with collard greens sounds like a Southern dish, and indeed it would be if you threw in a ham hock and took away the dill. But this recipe actually is inspired by a Greek dish that combines black-eyed peas with wild greens.

Categories     one pot

Time 1h30m

Yield Serves six

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 pound black-eyed peas, rinsed
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
3 large garlic cloves, minced
1 bay leaf
Salt to taste
1 large bunch collard greens (1 1/2 to 2 pounds), stemmed, washed well and chopped or cut in ribbons
2 tablespoons tomato paste dissolved in 1/2 cup water
1/4 to 1/2 cup chopped fresh dill (to taste)
Freshly ground pepper to taste
For topping (optional): crumbled feta or fresh lemon juice

Steps:

  • Place the black-eyed peas in a large saucepan, cover with water by two inches, bring to a boil and then drain. Combine with half the onion and one of the garlic cloves in the saucepan. Add water to cover by two inches, and bring back to a simmer. Add the bay leaf, and reduce the heat. Add salt to taste, cover and simmer 30 minutes, until the beans are just tender. Drain through a strainer set over a bowl.
  • Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees. In a large, ovenproof lidded skillet or Dutch oven, heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil over medium heat and add the remaining onion. Cook, stirring, until tender, about five minutes, and add the remaining garlic. Stir together for 30 seconds to a minute, until fragrant. A handful at a time, stir in the greens. As the greens wilt, stir in another handful, until all the greens have been added and have collapsed in the pan. Add the dissolved tomato paste and stir together. Add salt to taste. Add the beans and enough cooking liquid to barely cover everything, cover and place in the oven for 30 minutes, until the collards are tender and the beans very soft.
  • Uncover the pot, and add a bit of liquid if the beans are dry. Stir in the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and the dill, cover and continue to simmer for another 10 minutes. Add salt and freshly ground pepper to taste. Serve warm or hot. If you wish, top with crumbled feta or a squeeze of lemon.
