Seared Scallions With Poached Eggs Recipe Epicuriouscom

SEARED SCALLIONS WITH POACHED EGGS

Steps:

• Mince 1 whole scallion, transfer to a bowl, and whisk in 2 tablespoons oil and lemon juice. Season to taste with salt and pepper and set scallion sauce aside. Put the remaining scallions on a plate. Drizzle with remaining oil and toss to coat. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Heat a large cast-iron grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook scallions, turning occasionally, until tender and slightly charred, about 5 minutes. Divide scallions between plates.
• Pour 1/2 cup water into each of two 8-ounce microwave-safe coffee cups. Crack 1 egg into each cup, making sure it's completely submerged. Cover each with a saucer. Microwave 1 egg on high until white is set but yolk is runny, about 1 minute (cooking time will vary depending on microwave). Uncover; using a slotted spoon, transfer egg to top of 1 serving of scallions. Dress with half of the scallion sauce. Repeat with remaining egg and sauce; serve.

SEARED SCALLIONS

Steps:

• Trim roots from scallions, leaving ends intact, and remove any bruised outer leaves. Trim greens, leaving an 8-inch length of white and green parts.
• Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a 10-inch heavy skillet (preferably cast-iron) over moderate heat until hot but not smoking, then add half of scallions. Sprinkle with sea salt and cook, turning over once, until scallions are golden brown, 4 to 6 minutes total. (If greens become too brown before white parts are browned, prop greens up along side of skillet.) Transfer seared scallions to a plate and keep warm, covered. Cook remaining scallions in same manner, adding more oil as needed.

POACHED EGGS

Steps:

• Heat 3 cups water with the vinegar in a large deep skillet over medium heat until simmering. Break each egg into a cup and then gently add to the water. Poach for 4 to 5 minutes, or until the yolk is almost set. Remove the eggs from the pan with a slotted spoon to drain the liquid and place on a plate. Season with salt and pepper.
• Heat the oil on a cast-iron griddle or pan until it begins to shimmer. Cook the ham until light golden brown, about 1 minute per side. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels.
• Cook the tomatoes on the hot griddle until light golden brown and just warmed through, about 20 seconds per side.
• Split the biscuits horizontally. Place the bottoms on 4 large plates. Top each bottom with an egg. Drizzle with some of the hollandaise, top with ham, and sprinkle with parsley. Place the tomato halves and biscuit tops on the side.
• Stir together the paprika, New Mexico chile, chile de árbol, cayenne, garlic and onion powders, the thyme, and the oregano in a small bowl.
• Bring 1 inch of water to a simmer in a medium saucepan (or in the bottom of a double boiler). Whisk together the egg yolks and lemon juice in a medium nonreactive metal bowl and set over the simmering water. Whisk the yolks until pale yellow and fluffy, about 4 minutes.
• Slowly add the melted butter, a few tablespoons at a time, and whisk until thickened. Season the sauce with 2 teaspoons of the spice mixture, the salt, and the pepper. Serve warm.
