EGGS IN PURGATORY WITH CRISPY HERBED PARMESAN BREADCRUMBS

Steps:

• For the eggs in purgatory: Pulse the bread in a food processor until finely ground. Add the oregano and a pinch of salt and process until the herbs are finely chopped. Add 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and pulse until incorporated.
• Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the crumbs and toast, stirring, until golden, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and stir in the Parmesan.
• Wipe the skillet clean and lower the heat to medium. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons oil and the red pepper flake, garlic and onion. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 6 minutes. Add the crushed tomatoes and 1/2 cup water, cover partially and cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, about 10 minutes.
• Crack one of the eggs into a small bowl. Make a small indentation in the tomato sauce in the skillet, then gently pour the egg into the indentation. Repeat with the remaining eggs. Cover the skillet and cook until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still runny, 5 to 7 minutes.

Sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper.
• Bake until the egg whites are just set but the yolks are still a little runny, about 15 minutes.
• For the hollandaise: Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat.
• Add the lemon juice, paprika, egg yolks and a pinch of salt to a blender and blend on medium-high speed until the yolks lighten in color, 20 to 30 seconds. Lower the blender speed and slowly drizzle in the melted butter. Continue to blend on low until fully incorporated. For thinner hollandaise, drizzle in water 1 tablespoon at a time. Season with salt to taste.

Steps:

• For the eggs: Place the eggs in the bottom of a large stockpot in a single layer and fill the pot with water to cover the eggs by 2 inches. Add the salt. Place the eggs over high heat and bring to a boil, then turn off the heat, cover the pot and let sit for 13 to 15 minutes. Prepare an ice bath. Remove the eggs from the pot and place into the ice bath to cool.
• For the filling: Peel the eggs, cut them in half and place half of the yolks in a food processor. Add the basil, chives and 1/2 cup of the mayonnaise to the processor and puree until smooth. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer the filling to a resealable plastic bag.
• Clean out the bowl of the food processor. Place the remaining egg yolks into the clean processor, add the roasted red peppers and remaining 1/2 cup mayonnaise and puree until smooth. Season with salt and pepper and transfer to a second resealable bag.
• Add the red food coloring and 1/2 teaspoon of the vinegar to 2 cups of room temperature water in a bowl and mix well. Add half of the egg whites (make sure you remove the membranes from the egg halves so they don't affect the dyeing process) and let soak until the desired color is achieved, at least 15 minutes. Repeat the same process with the green food coloring and remaining vinegar. It will take longer to get a deep green color.
