BONFIRE EGGS WITH GREEN PEPPERS AND CHEESE



Bonfire Eggs with Green Peppers and Cheese image

Provided by Molly Yeh

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h15m

Yield Yield: 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 medium russet potatoes
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 large eggs
About 2 tablespoons heavy cream
Hot sauce, optional
1/4 red onion, diced
1/2 green bell pepper, diced
2 ounces shredded cheese

Steps:

  • Start a fire!
  • Poke the potatoes all over with a fork and microwave them for 12 minutes or bake at 350 degrees F for 20 minutes. Let the potatoes cool until they're cool enough to handle or wrap the bottoms in aluminum foil or use heat-safe gloves for the next step. Working with one potato at a time, chop off the end (keep this part, it is the potato's hat) and then use a small spoon to hollow out the potato, leaving about 1/3 inch of potato flesh all around. (Reserve the potato innards for another use, like potato soup or mashed potatoes, or feed them to your chickies.)
  • Salt the insides of the potatoes, then crack an egg into the center of each potato. Add 1/2 tablespoon cream, a good pinch of salt, a turn of pepper, hot sauce, if using, and a quarter of the onion and pepper to the center of each potato. Give it a quick scramble (I like using a chopstick for this). Top each with a little pile of cheese. Place the potatoes' hats back on them, then wrap each tightly in aluminum foil.
  • Carefully put the potatoes in the fire. Cook, turning occasionally with long tongs or a stick, for 20 minutes, then unwrap and check for doneness; the egg should be cooked and fluffy. If the egg is still runny, rewrap the potato and put it back in the fire for a few more minutes.
  • Let cool slightly and enjoy!

EGGS WITH CHILIES AND CHEESE



Eggs With Chilies and Cheese image

I came across this recipe while looking for breakfast ideas and thought it would be a good way to use up some cottage cheese. Although this calls for Monterey Jack cheese any cheese will work, I've even used American cheese with good results. This makes a lot of servings but it can easily be halved to serve 4-5 people (using an 8x8-inch pan baking for 20-30 minutes). Recipe source: Bon Appetit (January 1987)

VEGETARIAN SKILLET CHILI WITH EGGS AND CHEDDAR



Vegetarian Skillet Chili With Eggs and Cheddar image

This soul-warming weeknight chili is made in a skillet because the shorter sides of the pan allow the liquid to evaporate more freely, encouraging it to thicken faster than it would in a traditional pot. Eggs are nestled right into the chili, so the whites cook and the yolks stay molten, in a preparation similar to a shakshuka, another popular eggs-for-dinner dish. Shower the chili with Cheddar, simmer for a few minutes and there you have it: a hearty vegetarian meal. Serve with any toppings you like and something starchy like tortillas to mop everything up.

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 large yellow onion, coarsely chopped
Kosher salt and black pepper
4 garlic cloves, coarsely chopped
1 tablespoon ground cumin
4 teaspoons chili powder
1/4 cup tomato paste
1 (28-ounce) can crushed or diced fire-roasted tomatoes
2 (14-ounce) cans of beans, such as pinto, black or any bean you like in chili, with their liquid
1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
4 large eggs
1 cup grated extra-sharp Cheddar
Cilantro sprigs, for serving (optional)
Warm tortillas, tortilla chips or tostadas, for serving

Steps:

  • In a large (preferably cast-iron) skillet, melt the butter over medium-high. Add the onion, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic, cumin and chili powder, stir to combine, and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the tomato paste and cook, stirring occasionally, until it begins to stick to the bottom of the pan and turns the color of rust, about 2 minutes.
  • Stir in the tomatoes and both cans of beans with their liquid. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer, smashing the beans lightly and stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 20 minutes. Stir in the vinegar, then season to taste with salt.
  • Reduce the heat to low. If your chili is thick enough, make four divots evenly spaced in the chili and crack an egg into each divot. (If the chili is not thick enough to hold the divots, don't worry, just crack the eggs on top.) Using a fork or spoon, gently cover the whites with chili. (This helps the whites cook faster and more evenly). Season the eggs with salt and pepper, then sprinkle the chili with Cheddar. Cover and cook until the whites are set and the yolks are still runny, 5 to 7 minutes. Garnish, if desired, with cilantro sprigs. Serve with tortillas, tortilla chips or tostadas alongside.
