BAKED EGGS WITH SPINACH, ASPARAGUS, AND PROSCIUTTO



Baked Eggs With Spinach, Asparagus, and Prosciutto image

From Food and Wine Magazine: Bake the eggs, in their nests of crusty bread, until the whites are just set. When you cut into the egg, the still-liquid yolk acts as a sauce. If spicy food is your fancy, try serving a favorite salsa on the side. I haven't had a chance to try this yet. I just wanted to post it so that I could remind myself to make it.

Provided by Cultural Twist

Categories     Breakfast

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 small round loaf crusty bread, 2 ends removed, the rest cut into 4 thick slices (about 10 ounces)
3/4 lb asparagus, tough ends snapped off and discarded, spears cut into 2-inch pieces
1/4 lb thin-sliced prosciutto
1/4 lb gruyere, grated
1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, defrosted, drained, and squeezed dry
4 eggs
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 450°. Put the bread on a baking sheet and toast in the oven, turning once, until lightly browned, about 5 minutes in all. Transfer to an oiled baking dish.
  • Meanwhile, bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Add the asparagus and cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Drain, rinse with cold water, and drain thoroughly.
  • Using your fingers, make a depression in the center of each slice of bread. Arrange one or two slices of prosciutto around the edge of each slice of bread. Reserve 2 tablespoons of the cheese. Press a quarter of the remaining cheese into the center of each slice of bread. Top the cheese with the spinach, and then surround that with the asparagus. Break an egg into a small dish.

GREEN SPINACH & LEMON RISOTTO WITH CRISPY PROSCIUTTO



Green spinach & lemon risotto with crispy prosciutto image

Our vibrant green spinach risotto with crispy strips of prosciutto makes an indulgent dinner for two. It's fresh and full of spring flavours

Provided by Rosie Birkett

Categories     Dinner, Main course, Supper

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 15

750ml warm vegetable stock or chicken stock
100g spinach
small bunch parsley
3 tbsp olive oil
4 slices prosciutto
10g butter
1 thyme sprig , leaves picked
1 leek , the white part finely chopped (freeze the green part to use in stock)
1 large garlic clove , finely chopped
150g arborio risotto rice
75ml dry white wine or vermouth
20g parmesan , grated plus extra to serve
½ lemon , zested and juiced
2 tbsp double cream (optional)
whole nutmeg , for grating

Steps:

  • Pour the stock into a saucepan and bring to the boil. Blanch the spinach and parsley in the stock for 30 seconds until wilted and bright green, then remove with a slotted spoon and leave to cool for a moment. Turn the stock down to a low heat. Squeeze out any excess water from the spinach and parsley, then tip into a food processor or mini chopper. Add 2 tbsp of the olive oil and 1 tbsp water, then blitz to a fine purée and set aside.
  • Heat the remaining oil in a large non-stick frying pan or skillet and fry the prosciutto until crisp. Transfer the prosciutto to a plate covered with kitchen paper and set aside. Put half the butter, the thyme leaves, leek and garlic in the frying pan and season. Scrape up any crisp bits left over from the prosciutto and fry gently for a few mins over a medium heat until the leek is softened and aromatic but not browning. Add the rice, stirring to coat in the garlic mix, and cook for 2 mins until turning translucent, then pour in the wine and cook for another 2 mins until evaporated. Add one ladleful of the warm stock and cook until absorbed, stirring continuously.
  • Continue this process one ladleful at a time for 20-30 mins, stirring constantly, until the rice is creamy but still retaining a little bite and without a chalky core. Remove the pan from the heat and stir through the remaining butter, the parmesan, most of the lemon zest, the lemon juice and cream (if using). Stir through the spinach purée, then season well with a little freshly grated nutmeg. Divide between two plates, top with the crisp prosciutto and sprinkle over a little more parmesan and lemon zest.

Tips:

  • To save time, buy pre-washed and trimmed asparagus and spinach.
  • If you don't have prosciutto, you can substitute another type of cured meat, such as pancetta or bacon.
  • To make the salad more substantial, add some cooked quinoa or lentils.
  • For a more flavorful dressing, use a balsamic vinegar that has been aged for at least 12 years.
  • If you want a crispy salad, don't overdress it. The dressing should just coat the leaves.

Conclusion:

Asparagus, spinach, and crispy prosciutto salad is a delicious and healthy dish that is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. It is also a great way to use up leftover asparagus and spinach. The salad is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. For example, you can add more or less dressing, or you can substitute a different type of cured meat. You can also add other ingredients, such as nuts, seeds, or cheese.
