Leeks and eggs

Eastside Road, February 18, 2017—

ANOTHER ONE-DISH one-pot meal here, and a good one. Well, not exactly a pot: it's a curious technique. Cook spread a sheet of parchment paper on a baking sheet, then laid out thinly sliced leeks and mushrooms, sprinkling them lightly with olive oil, salt and pepper, and thyme; then baked them a few minutes in a hot oven.

Then she made hollows in the baked vegetables with the back of a spoon and broke eggs into them, dusting them with grated cheese, salt and pepper, and put the pan back in the oven for just a few minutes, to set the eggs. Garlic toast, and a green salad later, and ice cream with hot caramel sauce.
