Italian Eggs with....... - bjcotton - 08-10-2006
Here is a recipe that I fixed for lunch today. It's not out of CAH, but is sure scrumptious. I'll even post a link to the picture. I modified it a little (of course) and added some left-over chopped pork chop.

Serving Size : 3 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Eggs-Dairy-Breakfast
Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
4 tablespoons olive oil
1 small onion -- finely chopped
1 pound tomatoes, peeled and seeded -- chopped
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
6 large eggs
salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon butter
Heat the oil in a shallow flameproof dish. Add the onion, and cook until soft and golden.

Break the eggs, one at a time, and slip them into the dish in one layer on top of the tomatoes. Season with salt and pepper. Dot with butter. Cover the dish, and bake in the oven for 7--10 minutes, or until the egg whites have just set, but the yolks are still soft. Serve at once.
Variation: Sprinkle 2--3 Tbs of freshly grated Parmesan cheese over the eggs before baking for a richer, tastier dish.

Mr. bjcotton, I made this dish for brunch this morning. 
Well, the original posting (without any meat) that is. I served it with a lovely avocado - with a little parm shaved over the top and a squirt of lemon juice. Crusty bread and french roast rounded out the meal. DH almost cried!

I posted this addition to this recipe on the other site, so I hope it bares repeating:
This is the most wonderful way to serve eggs "Italian" style. My grandma would make them just this way but with par boiled asparagus in the bottom of the casserole and bake as directed. This is from the collection of things she taught me which she referred to as "food from when we were poor"

Thank you, both!

Cis, some of the most valuable info I've ever received came from the recollections of "when we were poor". As you think of them, share them with us please...and be sure to write them down or they will be lost.
