BAKED EGGS WITH CROUTONS AND ONION

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Butter four 8-ounce ramekins or custard cups. Set a kettle of water to boil.
• Meanwhile, in a medium skillet, heat 2 tablespoons butter over medium-low. Add bread; cook, tossing occasionally, until lightly browned, 6 to 8 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, and transfer to a bowl; reserve skillet.
• Melt remaining tablespoon butter in skillet over medium. Add onion; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Dividing evenly, spoon onion into ramekins, and top with croutons. Gently break 1 egg into each ramekin (keeping the yolk intact, see below). Top each egg with 1 tablespoon cream, and season with salt and pepper. Place ramekins in an 8-inch square baking dish, and pour enough boiling water to come halfway up side of ramekins. Bake until whites are set, 15 to 18 minutes.
• Carefully remove ramekins from water bath, and serve immediately.

BAKED EGGS WITH GREEN CHILES AND CAPERS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• In a medium straight-sided saute pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the capers, oregano, garlic, chile and orange zest. Cook for 3 more minutes. Add the tomatoes and tomato puree. Bring to a slow simmer and cook until thickened, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Spoon the tomato mixture into the bottom of a small baking dish. Form 6 small wells to hold the eggs. Crack an egg into each well. Place the croutons around the eggs and finish with the Parmigiano-Reggiano. Bake until the yolks are still soft but the whites are cooked, 8 to 10 minutes.

BAKED EGGS WITH ONIONS AND CHEESE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Put butter or oil in large, ovenproof skillet, and set over medium-high heat. Add onions and a liberal sprinkling of salt and pepper, cover skillet and turn heat to medium. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are very soft and tender but not browned, for about 15 minutes.
• Combine bread crumbs and cheeses, and sprinkle half of this mixture over onions. Use back of spoon to make 8 little nests in the mixture, and crack 1 egg into each. Season with salt and pepper, and distribute remaining bread crumbs and cheese mixture over top.
• Bake for 5 minutes, or until eggs are barely set. Turn on broiler, and run skillet under it to brown top for a minute or so, being careful not to overcook the eggs. Serve hot or at room temperature.

ROAST CHICKEN WITH CROUTONS AND ONIONS

Steps:

• Rinse chicken, pat thoroughly dry with paper towels, and allow to reach room temperature.
• Preheat oven to 390 degrees F (199 degrees C).
• Rub olive oil over outside of chicken and sprinkle skin and inside of cavity generously with salt. Rub black pepper and chopped rosemary onto chicken skin. Place 2 or 3 chunks of onion and French bread into cavity, along with whole rosemary sprig. Place chicken into a cast iron skillet and arrange remaining onion and bread chunks around the bird; squeeze lemon juice over the chicken, onion, and bread cubes.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes and turn chicken over so breast side is down. Bake 30 more minutes; turn chicken back over so breast side is up. Bake until chicken is browned and the juices run clear, an additional 30 minutes (90 total minutes roasting time). An instant-read meat thermometer, inserted into the thickest part of a thigh, not touching bone, should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). Let chicken rest 5 to 10 minutes before slicing chicken meat and serving with onion and bread cubes.
