Beet Greens Bruschetta With Poached Egg And Fontina Recipes

BEET GREENS BRUSCHETTA WITH POACHED EGG AND FONTINA

Steps:

• Poach the eggs first and set aside in a bowl of warm water.
• Lightly toast the bread, and rub with the cut side of the garlic clove. Finely chop or purée the remaining garlic.
• Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a small skillet and add the garlic. As soon as it smells fragrant, in about 30 seconds, stir in the beet greens. Stir together for about a minute, until greens are infused with the garlic and olive oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Top the toasted bread with the greens. Top the greens with the cheese. Place in a warm oven or a microwave and heat just until the cheese begins to melt. Remove from the heat. Blot the eggs dry if they are in warm water and place on top of the greens. Sprinkle with salt, pepper and chives, and enjoy.

• For the toasts: Put an oven rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Add 1/2 of the spinach and stir until it begins to wilt, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add the remaining spinach and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes. Season with salt, to taste. Using tongs, arrange the spinach on top of the toasts. Sprinkle with cheese and bake for 5 to 8 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbling. Season with salt and cool for 2 minutes.
