SAUTEED LEEKS AND CABBAGE

Steps:

• Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a pot. Add 1 teaspoon crushed coriander seeds, 1/4 teaspoon dried dill and 2 sliced leeks; season with salt and pepper. Cover and cook over medium heat, stirring, until softened, 8 to 10 minutes. Add 1/2 head chopped cabbage. Cover and cook, stirring once, 10 minutes. Add 1/4 cup apple juice and 2 tablespoons cider vinegar. Simmer until reduced, 3 minutes.

BAKED EGGS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Bring a kettle or small pot of water just to a simmer.
• Brush the insides of 8 small ramekins with the melted butter. Crack 1 egg into each ramekin. Add 1 tablespoon of heavy cream to each ramekin and season with salt and pepper. Add any combination of toppings to the ramekins. (Or even better, let your guests add their preferred toppings.)
• Place the ramekins in a high-sided baking dish. Pour the simmering water into the baking dish until it comes about halfway up the ramekins. Cover loosely with aluminum foil and bake until the eggs reach a custard-like consistency and the yolks are just set, 12 to 15 minutes.
• Carefully remove the ramekins from the water bath. Let cool slightly before serving.

BUTTERED LEEKS

Steps:

• The day before you want to serve this dish, cut the leeks from top to root and wash thoroughly under cold running water. Thinly slice them on the diagonal and put into plastic bags and chill until ready to cook.
• To serve, put a large pan over a medium heat, add the butter and let it melt over the base of the pan. Add the leeks and plenty of seasoning and stir to coat in the butter. Turn the heat down to low, cover the pan and cook the leeks gently for about 15 minutes, stirring half way through until they are tender. Serve with extra butter and a sprinkling of thyme leaves.

POTATO AND LEEK EGG BAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees with rack in upper third. Place potatoes in a medium saucepan and cover with 2 inches of water. Bring to a boil over high heat; reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are easily pierced with a knife, about 8 minutes. Drain potatoes, let cool, and cut into 1/4-inch-thick rounds.
• Whisk together eggs, milk, cream, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, and chives until thoroughly combined. Melt butter in an oven-safe 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add leek and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until leek is softened and golden brown, about 5 minutes. Add thyme and cook, stirring gently, 30 seconds.
• Reduce heat to medium. Pour egg mixture into skillet and stir once; cook, undisturbed, until edge is set, about 2 minutes. Scatter potatoes evenly over egg mixture. Transfer skillet to oven. Bake until edge is puffed and golden brown in places and center is set, about 20 minutes. Let cool slightly before serving.
