Parmigiano Reggiano Baked Eggs with Swiss Chard
These flavorful eggs are easy to bake up for a cozy breakfast with friends or family, and they also easily double for a crowd.
Ingredients:
Butter for the ramekins
2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 large garlic cloves, sliced
4 cups packed thinly sliced Swiss chard leaves, or other hearty green leaves (reserve chard stems for another use)
3/4 cup coarsely grated Parmigiano Reggiano cheese, divided
1 small tomato, halved, seeds removed, diced and divided
4 large eggs
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and generously butter 4 (6-ounce) ramekins or small gratin dishes.
- In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat.
- Add garlic and cook 1 minute. Add chard; cover the skillet and cook, stirring frequently, until chard is tender, 8 to 10 minutes; add a few tablespoons water if the skillet begins to dry out.
- Remove from the heat and pour off any excess liquid.
- Stir in 1/2 cup of the cheese and half of the tomato.
- Spoon the mixture evenly into the prepared ramekins. Break an egg into each ramekin and sprinkle with remaining cheese.
- Pile remaining tomato around eggs and season with salt and pepper. Place on a baking sheet and bake until egg whites are almost completely set, 15 to 20 minutes.
- Cool 5 minutes before serving.
