BAKED EGGS WITH FARMHOUSE CHEDDAR AND POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Melt the butter in a large, well-seasoned cast iron skillet over medium heat. Add the potatoes and cook, stirring occasionally until tender and brown, about 15 minutes. Stir in the parsley, garlic, salt, and pepper, and remove from the heat.
• Push the potatoes aside to make 4 evenly spaced shallow nests and break 2 eggs into each. Bake until the egg whites are cooked and the yolks are still runny, about 10 minutes. Sprinkle the cheese over the eggs and continue baking until it just melts, about 1 minute more. Serve immediately.

INDIVIDUAL OVEN-CODDLED EGGS WITH MASHED POTATOES AND HERBS

Steps:

• Butter six 3/4-cup ramekins. Bring milk and bay leaf to simmer in small saucepan. Remove from heat. Cover; let steep 15 minutes. Discard bay leaf.
• Meanwhile, cook potatoes in medium saucepan of boiling salted water until very tender, about 15 minutes. Drain. Place potatoes in medium bowl. Add warm milk, shallots, butter, rosemary, and thyme; mash until smooth. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Divide potato mixture among ramekins. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and chill. Bring to room temperature before continuing.)

Place ramekins in 13x9x2-inch metal baking pan. Pour enough hot water into baking pan to come halfway up sides of ramekins. Bake until egg whites are gently set but yolks are still soft, about 17 minutes. Remove ramekins from baking pan. Sprinkle chives over and serve.

Combine herbs in a small bowl, and mix well. Place 2 teaspoons mixed herbs in the bottom of each coddler; to each, add 1 whole egg and 1 egg white, and drizzle with 1 teaspoon heavy cream. Add 1/4 teaspoon salt to each, and season with pepper. Screw lids on tightly.
• Using tongs, carefully place egg coddlers in the boiling water. Reduce heat to medium, and simmer 6 minutes. Turn off heat; cover pan, and let stand 4 to 5 minutes. Remove coddlers from pan, and remove lids. Serve eggs in the coddlers. Top each with a few croutons, and garnish with remaining mixed herbs.
