GREEN EGGS AND HAM

Categories     main-dish

Time 20m

Yield 1 serving

Number Of Ingredients 29

One 3 x 5-inch slice Pizza Bianca Focaccia, recipe follows, or any focaccia
3 tablespoons Double Cream Ricotta, recipe follows, or any ricotta
2 tablespoons Classic Pesto, recipe follows, or any pesto
Plenty of shaved pecorino
4 ounces prosciutto cotto (Italian boiled ham), thinly sliced
1 egg
Pinch of red chile flakes
275 grams plus 25 grams water
7 grams active dry yeast
25 grams plus 15 grams olive oil, plus more for greasing the pan
550 grams all-purpose flour
7 grams pure cane sugar
10 grams kosher salt
20 grams dried oregano
2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary leaves
1 tablespoon wild fennel pollen (optional)
1 tablespoon Maldon salt, or any fancy salt of your choice
4 cups whole milk
2 cups heavy cream
1/2 tablespoon sea salt
Zest and juice of 1 Meyer lemon
1/2 teaspoon cider vinegar
2 cups olive oil
4 cups basil leaves
1/2 cup pine nuts, toasted
1 cup grated pecorino cheese
Zest and juice of 1 lemon
1 garlic clove, finely grated
Kosher salt

Steps:

  • To assemble 1 open-faced sandwich, preheat the oven to 425 degrees F or turn the broiler to low.
  • Set the focaccia on a baking sheet or in an ovenproof dish. Dot it with dollops of ricotta, drizzle with 1 tablespoon of the pesto, and top with pecorino and the prosciutto cotto.
  • Either crack the egg directly on the top and bake until the egg is set, about 10 minutes, or prepare a sunny-up and bake the pizza bianca separately until slightly crisp on the edges, then lay the egg on top.
  • To finish, top the egg with remaining 1 tablespoon pesto, plenty of pecorino, and a pinch of chile flakes. Cut it in half if you intend to share, but don't feel bad if you scarf this down solo.
  • Measure 275 grams of water into the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook and add the yeast. Disperse with your hand, then add 25 grams olive oil, the flour, and sugar. Mix briefly on low speed to combine the ingredients, then let rest (autolyse), covered, for 20 minutes.
  • Sprinkle with the kosher salt and add the remaining 25 grams water. Mix on speed 1 (low speed) for 5 to 7 minutes, until the dough begins to pull from the sides of the bowl and appears shiny and smooth.
  • Turn the dough out onto a greased baking sheet and cover loosely with well-oiled plastic. (The easiest way to oil a sheet of plastic is simply to drag it across the greased baking sheet.)
  • Let the dough rise for 1 hour; it will be quite puffy and fill nearly three-fourths of the baking sheet. (This first rise on the baking sheet uses gravity to help spread and stretch the dough.)
  • Gently remove the plastic and use well-oiled fingertips to poke the dough and stretch to fill the pan. (This step fulfills the same purpose as a punch down or pre-shape in some of our other breads. You're taking away some of the gas while encouraging the dough to take its final shape.)
  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Cover the focaccia with well-oiled plastic, and let it proof for 45 to 60 minutes, or until the dough fills the entire pan. Gently remove the plastic and give the dough one last well-oiled poke.
  • Sprinkle with the oregano, rosemary, and fennel pollen (if using). Drizzle with the remaining 15 grams olive oil. Bake for 25 minutes, or until golden. Sprinkle with the Maldon salt.
  • To make the ricotta, in a large saucepan, combine the milk and cream and bring to 180 degrees F over medium heat, being very careful not to let it boil. Add the salt, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vinegar and stir to combine. Remove from the heat and set aside to rest 10 minutes.
  • Set a colander over a large bowl and line the colander with cheesecloth. Using a measuring cup or a large ladle, give the pot another good stir. You will see that the curds and whey have separated. Gently ladle the curds into the colander. If you're going for ultimate richness, try not to break up the curds as you make this transfer.
  • Let the ricotta drain in the fridge for about 2 hours, then remove it from the cheesecloth and store it in an airtight container in the fridge, where it will last for 7 days. (If you like, drain some of the whey from the bowl and reserve it for another use, such as a great probiotic lemonade.)
  • In a blender, puree the olive oil and basil at high speed. Do not let it go too long or the heat from the blender will turn the basil brown. Add the pine nuts and puree another 1 minute, or until smooth. Pour the basil puree into a bowl and stir in the pecorino, lemon zest, lemon juice, and garlic. Season with salt to taste and store in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 4 days, or freeze for up to 30 days.

Categories     main-dish

Time 32m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
2 large shallots, finely chopped
1 (10-ounce) box frozen chopped spinach, defrosted in microwave and liquids drained
1/3 to 1/2 cup heavy cream, eyeball it
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Freshly grated nutmeg, to taste
8 slices deli ham or prosciutto di Parma
8 eggs

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
  • In a medium skillet over medium heat, heat the extra-virgin olive oil and the butter and sweat the shallots a few minutes. Add the spinach and stir in the cream, season with salt, freshly ground black pepper and a little grated nutmeg. Cook the spinach, stirring occasionally, until the cream has thickened, 5 minutes. Adjust seasoning to your taste.
  • Fold each slice of ham or prosciutto in half and line the nonstick cups with 1 slice of meat each. Spoon a heaping tablespoon of the cooked spinach into each of the cups, then crack an egg into each, making sure it stays whole (hint - if you're worried about breaking the egg yolk, crack the egg into a small bowl first, then pour it into the muffin cup). Season the tops of the eggs with salt and freshly ground black pepper and bake in the oven until set, about 15 minutes. Allow the baked eggs to cool in the muffin cups for a couple of minutes before removing them from the pan. Serve immediately.

DELICIOUS GREENS AND HAM



Delicious Greens and Ham image

As a side dish or a meal, greens lovers will enjoy this healthy concoction of meat, turnip greens, tomatoes, and onions. Serving size is for a side dish, so double it for a one-dish meal.

Provided by Margy

Categories     Side Dish     Vegetables     Greens

Time 32m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 6

vegetable oil cooking spray
½ pound chopped cooked ham
½ medium yellow onion, chopped
1 (15.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 pound fresh turnip greens, rinsed and chopped
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

Steps:

  • Set a large skillet over medium-high heat and coat with cooking spray. Add ham and onion; cook and stir until onion is clear. Add the tomatoes and turnip greens and cover the skillet. I use a 12 inch skillet and I have to pack the greens down a bit to make them fit at first. When the pan starts to steam, reduce the heat to medium-low and cook for about 12 minutes.
  • Transfer the greens and ham to a serving bowl and toss with apple cider vinegar.

Tips:

  • Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs like parsley, chives, and rosemary add a vibrant flavor to the biscuits and ham. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but be sure to use half the amount.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make the biscuits tough. Mix the dough just until it comes together, then stop.
  • Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough before baking helps the biscuits to rise better. You can chill the dough for up to 2 hours, or overnight.
  • Bake the biscuits until they are golden brown: The biscuits are done baking when they are golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Serve the biscuits warm: The biscuits are best served warm, right out of the oven. You can serve them with butter, honey, or your favorite jam.

Conclusion:

Green Elf Biscuits and Ham is a delicious and festive dish that is perfect for Christmas morning. The biscuits are light and fluffy, with a subtle green color from the parsley. The ham is tender and juicy, and the glaze adds a sweet and savory flavor. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
