Baked Eggs West Indian Style Recipes

INDIAN-INSPIRED FRITTATA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200°C/400°F/gas 6. Put a 26cm non-stick ovenproof frying pan on a medium heat and, one by one, lightly toast the chapatis. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, beat the eggs with half the mango chutney. Coarsely grate in most of the cheese, chop and add the spinach, then erratically tear in the toasted chapatis. Add a pinch of sea salt and black pepper and mix it all together well.
• Put 1 tablespoon of olive oil into the frying pan, then pour in the egg mixture. Grate over the remaining cheese and sprinkle over the Bombay mix. Shake the pan over the heat for 1 minute, then transfer to the oven for 10 minutes, or until golden and set. Meanwhile, grate the onion, mix with a pinch of salt and 1 tablespoon of red wine vinegar and leave to quickly pickle. Serve the frittata dolloped with yoghurt and the remaining mango chutney, sprinkled with the drained pickled red onion.

BAKED EGGS, WEST INDIAN STYLE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F. Put the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat; a minute later, add the chiles and garlic and cook for about 30 seconds, stirring. Add the onion and bell pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion softens, 5 to 10 minutes. Add the tomatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture becomes saucy, 10 to 15 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
• Put a portion of the sauce in each of 4 ramekins or put all of it in the bottom of a gratin dish. If you're using a gratin dish, make 8 nests in the sauce using the back of a spoon; crack 1 egg into each nest or 2 eggs into each ramekin. Top with salt, pepper, and the melted butter.
• Bake for 8 to 12 minutes, or until the eggs are barely set. The yolks should still be soft and runny-take care not to overcook.
