Parmesan Eggs Recipes

CRISPY PARMESAN EGGS

Steps:

• Brush 1 teaspoon olive oil into a thin layer on the bottom of a 10-inch nonstick or well-seasoned cast-iron skillet and place over medium heat. Sprinkle 1/2 cup Parmesan in an even layer covering the bottom of the pan. Cook for 2 minutes until cheese begins to melt.
• Crack eggs onto cheese, then cover pan and cook until eggs are starting to set but are not cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes. Uncover and turn heat to medium-high to finish cooking eggs for another 1 to 2 minutes, until edges are crisp and golden brown. Make sure the cheese doesn't get too brown; if it goes past light golden, turn down heat. To serve, season eggs with salt and pepper to taste.

FRIED EGGS AND ASPARAGUS WITH PARMESAN

Steps:

• Set oven rack in upper third of oven, then preheat oven to 425°F.
• Cook asparagus in a large deep skillet of boiling salted water until crisp-tender, about 4 minutes. Transfer with tongs to paper towels to drain.
• Generously butter gratin dishes using 1/2 tablespoon butter total, then divide asparagus between them. Season with salt and pepper, then sprinkle with half of cheese.
• Heat remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a 10-inch nonstick skillet over moderately high heat until foam subsides, then fry eggs, seasoning with salt and pepper, until whites are barely set, about 2 minutes.
• Carefully transfer 2 eggs to each gratin dish with a slotted spatula, placing on top of asparagus. Sprinkle eggs with remaining cheese and drizzle with any butter remaining in skillet.
• Bake in upper third of oven until cheese is melted and eggs are cooked as desired, 4 to 5 minutes for runny yolks.

PARMESAN FRIED EGGS WITH BITTER GREENS

Steps:

• Heat a small nonstick skillet over medium until a shred of cheese dropped in begins to sizzle. Spread 1/4 cup cheese in an even layer over bottom of skillet. Heat without disturbing until cheese begins to bubble, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Crack 1 egg directly on top of cheese. Cook until edges are just set, about 2 minutes. Cover and continue cooking until white is set but yolk is still runny, about 1 minute, 30 seconds more. Season with salt and pepper. Run a spatula around edge of egg and cheese to loosen. Transfer to a plate with spatula. Repeat with remaining 1/4 cup cheese and egg.
• Top eggs with greens. Squeeze lemon over top and drizzle with oil; season with salt and pepper and serve.

PARMESAN SCRAMBLED EGGS

Steps:

• Put Smart Balance in a small saute pan on medium heat to melt.
• Put eggs, Parmesan, half-and-half, salt, pepper, chives, parsley and liquid butter into a blender (I use my magic bullet) or you can use a mixer, and mix shortly just until well blended (if you blend too long it will get foamy).
• Pour mixture into your pan with the melted butter and start whisking with a rubber whisk. Whisk constantly or the eggs will start to stick to the pan and you will not get the same taste.
• When the eggs are starting to get thicker add the shredded cheese and continue whisking until mixture is well cooked (you don't want them totally dry, just a bit moist).
• Take out of pan and serve while still warm.

• Slip cracked eggs, one at a time, over cheese, leaving spaces between eggs; cover skillet with lid. Cook 3 to 4 min. or until egg whites are almost set; remove lid. Cook eggs additional 2 to 3 min. or until whites are set, edges of whites are crisp and golden brown, and yolks are cooked to desired doneness. Remove from heat.
• Sprinkle eggs with remaining cheese. Serve with toast slices.

SCRAMBLED EGGS WITH SPINACH & PARMESAN

Steps:

Sprinkle with crushed red pepper flakes.

BAKED EGGS IN TOMATO-PARMESAN SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Set four 12-ounce ovenproof bowls or ramekins on a large rimmed baking sheet.
• In a large saucepan, heat oil over medium. Add garlic and rosemary; cook, stirring, until garlic is golden, about 2 minutes. Add diced tomatoes (with juice), crushed tomatoes, and 2 tablespoons Parmesan; bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer, and cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, 2 to 4 minutes. Season tomato sauce with salt and pepper.
• Divide tomato sauce among bowls, reserving 1 cup. Crack 2 eggs into each bowl. Dividing evenly, top with reserved sauce and 2 tablespoons Parmesan. Bake until egg whites are just opaque (yolks should still be soft), 24 to 28 minutes, rotating sheet halfway through.
