Fresh Herb And Egg Casserole Recipes

FRESH HERB AND EGG CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
• In a large bowl, beat the eggs well and add the baking powder, flour, allspice, salt and pepper. Fold in the garlic, scallions, parsley, coriander, dill, fenugreek and barberries. Adjust seasoning to taste.
• Place 2 tablespoons of the melted butter into an 8-inch-square baking dish. Pour in egg and herb mixture. Bake, uncovered, for 20 minutes. Brush with the remaining melted butter, and return to the oven about 5 minutes or until golden brown.
• The casserole may be served from the baking dish or inverted onto a serving platter by loosening the edges with a knife. Cut into 2- inch squares. Serve with cucumber-yogurt sauce (see below).

HERBED-BAKED EGGS

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler for 5 minutes and place the oven rack 6 inches below the heat.
• Combine the garlic, thyme, rosemary, parsley, and Parmesan and set aside. Carefully crack 3 eggs into each of 2 small bowls or teacups (you won't be baking them in these) without breaking the yolks. (It's very important to have all the eggs ready to go before you start cooking.)
• Place 2 individual gratin dishes on a baking sheet. Place 1 tablespoon of cream and 1/2 tablespoon of butter in each dish and place under the broiler for about 3 minutes, until hot and bubbly. Quickly, but carefully, pour 3 eggs into each gratin dish and sprinkle evenly with the herb mixture, then sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper. Place back under the broiler for 5 to 6 minutes, until the whites of the eggs are almost cooked. (Rotate the baking sheet once if they aren't cooking evenly.) The eggs will continue to cook after you take them out of the oven. Allow to set for 60 seconds and serve hot with toasted bread.
