Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

Cornmeal, for the peel
All-purpose flour, for rolling
Four 4-ounce rounds pizza dough (from a Naples-style pizzeria, if possible)
5 to 6 tablespoons olive oil
8 ounces coarsely grated provolone
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Calabrian chile flakes, to taste
4 large eggs
Zucchini Pesto, recipe follows
1 pound smoked ricotta
Chopped fresh parsley leaves, for garnish
9 ounces small zucchini, trimmed and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 cup packed fresh basil leaves
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan
1/4 cup lightly toasted slivered almonds
2 cloves garlic, coarsely chopped
1 green onion, chopped
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Put a pizza stone on or near the bottom of the oven and preheat to 475 degrees F. Sprinkle some cornmeal on a pizza peel.
  • Dust your work surface with a little bit of flour. Working with 2 balls of dough at a time (whatever will fit on your pizza stone), roll out each ball of dough to about 1/8 inch thick and transfer to the peel. Drizzle the top with a few teaspoons olive oil, scatter some of the provolone evenly over the top and season with some salt, pepper and chile flakes. Using the peel, transfer the pizzas to the stone and cook until golden brown and just cooked through, about 10 minutes.
  • While the pizzas cook, fry the eggs: Heat about 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a small nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Slip in 2 of the eggs and fry until the edges are brown and crisp, the whites are set and the yolks still runny, about 3 minutes.
  • Remove the pizzas from the oven and spread an even layer of Zucchini Pesto on top, dollop with some ricotta, top with an egg and garnish with some parsley leaves. Repeat with the remaining dough and toppings. Cook the remaining eggs, adding an additional tablespoon of oil to the skillet if needed. Serve hot.
  • Combine the zucchini, basil, Parmesan, almonds, garlic and onion in the bowl of a food processor and process until coarsely chopped. With the motor running, slowly drizzle in the oil and process until emulsified. Season with the lemon zest and some salt and pepper and pulse a few times.

OLIVE OIL-FRIED EGGS

Start your day off right by frying eggs in a shallow pool of olive oil -- tilt the pan and spoon the hot oil over the tops to give the whites crispy edges and a souffled texture. Enjoy with toast or in our Breakfast Bowl with Yogurt and Vegetables.

Time 5m

Number Of Ingredients 3

Extra-virgin olive oil
2 large eggs
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Pour 1/8 inch of oil into a small skillet. Heat over medium-high until shimmering, about 1 minute. Crack eggs into skillet; season with salt. Cook, tilting skillet slightly and spooning oil over eggs repeatedly, until whites are puffed slightly, crisp and golden brown along edges, and just set but yolks are still wet, about 2 minutes.

OLIVE OIL-FRIED EGG



Olive Oil-Fried Egg image

This method for making fried eggs lies somewhere between the techniques for Spanish fried eggs and for classic sunny side up: The edges are crispy and golden, the whites are set, yet the yolk is still runny. To achieve this contrast in textures, the eggs are cooked in a thin layer of rippling-hot oil. While this recipe is written for four eggs, it will work with any number. (Adjust the pan size and oil accordingly). Avoid touching the eggs until the bottoms and edges are lacy and crisp. Once that happens, spoon some of the oil onto the whites until cooked through. The yolk remains untouched, ready to be sopped up by toast or potatoes, or with yogurt.

Time 10m

Yield 4 eggs

Number Of Ingredients 3

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
4 eggs
Kosher salt and black pepper

Steps:

  • In a medium (10-inch) cast-iron or nonstick skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high until it ripples like the ocean. (This can take 2 to 2 1/2 minutes).
  • Crack the eggs into the pan. To minimize splatters and spreading, open the shell near the oil (not from high up), and slowly let the egg pour out of the shell. Leave the eggs untouched until the edges are golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Gently tilt the pan towards you, spoon up some of the oil, and baste just the whites and edges of the yolk until the whites are set, about 1 minute. (Avoid the yolk so that it stays runny). Turn off the heat, season with salt and pepper, then transfer the eggs to plates using a spoon or slotted spatula.

Categories     main-dish

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup fresh parsley leaves
2 tablespoons whole almonds
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
6 jarred sundried tomatoes packed in oil
3 jarred roasted red peppers
1 clove garlic
8 1 1/2-inch-thick slices crusty Italian bread
1 3/4 cups olive oil
8 eggs
Kosher salt and fresh ground pepper

Steps:

  • For the sauce: Combine the oil, parsley, almonds, paprika, salt, pepper, tomatoes, red peppers and garlic in a food processor and pulse until smooth. Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
  • For the eggs: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Place the bread on a baking sheet. Brush the bread with 1/4 cup of the olive oil. Toast in the oven until toasted and lightly browned, 6 to 8 minutes.
  • Heat the remaining 1 1/2 cups olive oil in a large nonstick saute pan set over medium heat. Crack 4 of the eggs into the pan making sure each egg has enough room for the white to spread out. Fry the eggs and, using a spoon, carefully baste them with the olive oil to cook the tops. Cook until the edges of the whites start to get golden brown and crispy, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Repeat with the remaining 4 eggs.
  • Lay 2 pieces of toast on a plate and top each with a fried egg. Season the eggs with a sprinkle of salt and pepper and finish with a heaping spoonful of the Spanish pantry sauce. Serve immediately.

Smoky Olive-Oil Fried Eggs image

This style of frying eggs results in crisp, crackly whites and beautiful, barely set yolks. The spicy garlic oil and smoked mozzarella make this dish an unusual but delicious brunch or light dinner.

Provided by Melissa Roberts

Time 15m

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 large garlic clove
1/2 teaspoon dried hot red-pepper flakes or 1/4 teaspoon cayenne
1/4 cup olive oil, divided
8 large eggs
1 1/4 cups coarsely grated smoked mozzarella (6 ounces)
Accompaniment: crusty bread

Steps:

  • Preheat broiler.
  • Mince and mash garlic to a paste with a pinch of salt, then stir together with red-pepper flakes and 2 tablespoons oil in a small bowl.
  • Break eggs into a bowl. Heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a flameproof 12-inch heavy skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers. Pour in eggs and cook, undisturbed, until whites begin to set, then cook, lifting up edge of cooked whites with a spatula to let as much raw egg white as possible flow underneath, 2 minutes (top and yolks will still be very loose). Remove skillet from heat and sprinkle cheese over eggs.
  • Broil 4 to 6 inches from heat until cheese is melted and bubbling and yolks are barely set, 2 to 4 minutes. Serve drizzled with garlic oil.
