Egg-in-a-Hole With Asparagus Recipe


Heat oven to 220°C. Grease a rimmed sheet pan with 1 tablespoon melted butter.
  • In a large, shallow dish, whisk together 1 egg, 120 ml milk, 60 ml grated Parmesan, a large pinch of salt and pepper, and a tablespoon melted butter. 
  • Add 2 wide slices of sourdough bread and let soak for about 2 minutes per side. The bread should be soft and soaked through, but not falling apart.
  • Arrange soaked bread on one side of the prepared sheet pan. Pour any remaining soaking mixture from bowl onto the bread slices. Using a cookie cutter or a knife, carefully cut a 5 cm hole in each of the slices of soaked bread. Place the cut-out rounds alongside the bread slices on the pan.
  • On the other side of the sheet pan, add 225g green asparagus, 1,5 thinly sliced spring onions, 3 fresh thyme sprigs and a large pinch of salt and pepper. Drizzle asparagus with olive oil, tossing well, and spread into an even single layer.
  • Bake until bread is golden on top, 10 minutes. If the asparagus is tender and browned after 10 minutes, use tongs to transfer the stalks to a plate and tent with foil to keep warm. Thick asparagus may need more time, in which case leave it in the pan for the next step.
  • Using a spatula, flip the bread slices and cut-outs. Crack 2 eggs into the holes (the eggs may overflow a bit, and that is OK). Season eggs lightly with salt and pepper. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan on top of eggs and bread.
  • Return pan to the oven and bake until eggs are barely set, about 5 to 7 minutes. The yolks and even some of the whites should jiggle slightly.
  • (Note that the eggs will continue to cook on the sheet pan once out of the oven, so if you like runny yolks, err on the side of early removal.) However, if the egg whites are still translucent, bake for another minute or two.
  • To serve, place egg toasts on plates, top each toast with half the asparagus (discarding the thyme sprigs) and garnish with sliced spring onion .

    Crispy braised Iberico pork collar Recipe

    Image
    It is not cheap, but if you come across it don't hesitate and buy an   Iberico  pork  collar  (aka boneless neck, Cabecero). Mine was 1800 g. It is a well marbled, exquisitely flavorful cut that can be roasted, braised, or sliced into steaks for quick searing. ... While  iberico  is best known for the famous slow-aged hams, the other cuts are succulent, moist & delicious. I made pulled pork from one half. Today I made this from the other half. First I peeled, halved and then sliced 800 g of onions and sweated them in 40 g of butter, turned the heat up a bit and softly fried them for about 40 mins, nicely caramelised and brown. Took out the onions and added some more butter in the pan to sear the meat. Then turned the heat down again and added  sea salt, black pepper, 3 tbsp  Worcestershire  and 6 finely hacked cloves of garlic , 1.2 liter of beef stock , the reserved onions and 2 leaves of laurel . Put the lid on and let it simmer for 3 hours. Then I took out the oni
