Fried Sausage Wrapped Hard Boiled Eggs


Photo and recipe


Ingredients:
6 hard-boiled eggs, well chilled (I try to cook them to just past soft boiled stage, then stick them in the coldest part of the fridge to firm up)
1 pound good quality sausage meat (I used ground turkey meat, seasoned with sage, white pepper, salt and a tiny bit of maple syrup)
1/2 cup AP flour
1-2 eggs, beaten
3/4 cup panko-style bread crumbs
Vegetable oil for frying
Directions:
Peel eggs; divide sausage into 6 portions.
Roll each egg in flour then press and shape a portion of the sausage around each egg.
Dip sausage-wrapped eggs into beaten egg and roll in panko.
heat oil to 350˚F .
Cook each egg for 4-5 minutes (longer if shallow frying–constantly turn the eggs around for best results) or until sausage is cooked and browned.
Can be served cold

SHIRRED EGGS with TOASTED BREAD

Images by:  Leela Cyd Ross


INGREDIENTS:


serves 2
2 eggs
2 tablespoons heavy cream
2 tablespoons shredded Gruyere cheese
2 teaspoons minced shallot
a few sprigs of thyme
2 pieces of toast, cut into thin slices
PROCEDURE:
Preheat oven to 425°F. Lightly grease two 4-inch ramekins (you can use a smaller size, or tea cups work as well; you may have to adjust your cooking time for desired setting of the eggs).
Crack each egg into a ramekin, and pour 1 tablespoon of cream onto each egg. Sprinkle the cheese, shallots and a few thyme leaves onto each egg.
Bake for 7 to 10 minutes (7 for a very runny yolk, 10 for a firmer yolk), until the egg is 'set' to your preference. Serve immediately with toast soldiers. Eggs will continue to set up as you eat, so get them to the table as soon as possible.
Recipe Notes:
• I've read many recipes that call for baking the ramekins in a water bath, after testing with and without, I found no difference, so have eliminated this step from my recipe.
• You can make shirred eggs on a larger scale, as Faith did a few years ago, with many eggs in a big casserole dish, cooking times may need a little adjustment, but this is a nice idea for a weekend brunch.
• Additional ingredient ideas: caramelized onions, chopped olives, sauteed mushrooms, snippets of chives or green onions, bell pepper slivers, diced tomatoes, and goat cheese are all great in eggs cocotte.

HONEY ROASTED POTATOES with FRIED EGGS and BACON



Ingredients

Directions

  • Rinse the potatoes well and peel off some of its skin. Cut potatoes into wedges 1/6-inch wide. Place potatoes in a bowl in the sink underneath running water. Leave the water running for about 5 minutes until the water spilling out of the bowl runs clear. (This step will remove excess starch from the potatoes.) Pour water out of the bowl and pat potatoes dry using a dish towel.
  • Chop bacon into small squares. Add bacon to a large saute pan with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Saute, stirring, on medium-high heat for about 4 minutes. Once cooked, remove bacon from pan, leaving bacon fat behind.
  • Add potatoes to the saute pan with 2 tablespoons olive oil. Cook potatoes on medium-high heat until they begin to get some color. Add garlic and paprika to the pan, then stir in the soy sauce and honey and bring to a simmer. Simmer for 5 minutes then stir in the parsley and thyme, and add bacon back to pan to re-warm.
  • In a separate pan, heat 2 tablespoons canola oil on medium-low heat.
  • Crack the eggs into the pan and season. Cook until the eggs brown around the edges, but the yolk is still moist.
  • Serve potatoes with egg on top.

HUEVOS RANCHEROS



Huevos rancheros (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈweβoz ranˈtʃeɾos]) is a classic Mexican breakfast dish popular throughout much of the Americas. The basic dish consists of fried eggs served upon lightly fried corn tortillas topped with a tomato-chili sauce.  Refried beans, slices of avocado, or guacamole may accompany the dish.



Fried eggs on tortillas with tomato sauce.

Ingredients

Directions

  • Preheat oven to 200°F.
  • To make sauce, combine tomatoes, including juice, chile, garlic, salt and sugar in a blender and blend until smooth.
  • Heat vegetable oil in a 2-quart heavy saucepan over medium heat until it shimmers. Add onion and cook, stirring, until translucent, about 4 minutes. Add pureed tomato mixture and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low, and simmer the sauce until lightly thickened, about 10 minutes.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat until hot. Gently break 4 eggs into skillet and cook, covered, 3 minutes, or to desired doneness. Season eggs with salt and pepperFry tortillas (see below) while eggs are cooking, then transfer 2 tortillas to a plate and top with 2 eggs. Keep warm in oven while making more eggs (and frying more tortillas) in the same manner, adding oil as needed.
  • While eggs are cooking, heat 2 tablespoons oil in a small nonstick skillet over moderate heat until hot but not smoking. Cook tortillas one at a time in oil, turning with tongs when tortilla starts to blister but is still soft, about 10 seconds on each side, (do not let them become brown or crisp). Blot tortillas on paper towels as fried and stack to keep warm.
  • Sprinkle eggs with cilantro before serving.
