Baked Eggs In Tomato Sauce With Ricotta Cheese Recipe 415

BAKED EGGS IN TOMATO SAUCE WITH RICOTTA CHEESE RECIPE - (4.1/5)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a 10 to 12-inch saute pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion, 1 sprig parsley, mint, and garlic. Cook, stirring, until the onion starts to soften, about 5 minutes. Add the vinegar and allow it to evaporate completely. Add the tomatoes and their juices. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook until slightly reduced, about 15 minutes. Remove the garlic and parsley and discard. Add the remaining parsley and the basil to the sauce and stir in. Season the sauce with salt and pepper then divide it among 4 low oven-proof bowls, reserving 1 cup. Crack 2 eggs into each bowl. Dollop a heaping spoonful of ricotta next to the eggs. Then top with a bit more of the reserved sauce and 2 tablespoons Parmesan. Bake until egg whites are just opaque (yolks should still be soft but to taste is fine), 24 to 28 minutes, rotating sheet halfway through. Give it a good grind of black pepper and a sprinkle of the remaining Parmesan cheese. Serve hot with grilled bread or pasta.

CREAMY RICOTTA EGG CASSEROLE WITH FRESH TOMATOES

Steps:

• Eggs -- In a large bowl, mix all the ingredients except for the tomatoes and chives. Mix well until everything is combined. Pour into a 13x9 pan sprayed with a non-stick spray or Pam.
• Bake -- In a 350 degree oven, middle shelf, bake for 45-55 minutes. To see if it is done, test like you would a cake -- stick a knife in the center to make sure it comes out clean.
• Then turn on the broiler, remove your dish and top with the tomato slices and plenty of salt and pepper. Broil 2-3 minutes until the tomatoes soften slightly and the top is lightly brown. Remove from the oven and cover with foil to let it rest. A good 10 minutes before serving.
• Serve -- Sprinkle with the fresh chives before serving. I don't try to cut this, but rather just spoon it. They are absolutely wonderful and creamy, and a nice change from traditional scrambled eggs. Add some potatoes, bacon or sausage and you have a wonderful meal. ENJOY!
