Egg pie with ham and cheese topcook.tomathouse.com
Ingredients:
- 10 large eggs
- A pinch of cayenne pepper
- 90 g ham, cut into pieces
- 170 gr. grated muenster
- 4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 3 bunches green onions, cut into 5cm pieces.
- 1 large tomato, cut into wedges
- 1 teaspoon white wine vinegar
- 1 tbsp. sugar
- 110 g mesclun lettuce (about 4 cups)
- Half a head of escarole, torn, or 1 bunch of dandelion greens
Preparation:
- Position the oven rack in the middle position and preheat the oven to broil. Whisk the eggs in a large bowl with 2 tablespoons of water and cayenne pepper. Add the ham and half the cheese.
- In a 6- to 8-inch ovenproof skillet, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat, swirling the pan to coat the bottom. Add the green onions, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and season with pepper to taste; cook until wilted, 4-5 minutes.
- Reduce heat to medium-low, pour in the egg mixture, and gently fold with a rubber spatula to distribute the filling. Cook until the egg is set on the bottom, about 4 minutes. Sprinkle with the remaining cheese, transfer the pan to the oven, and bake until golden brown, about 10 minutes. Let sit while you prepare the salad.
- Season the tomatoes with salt and pepper in a bowl and toss with vinegar, sugar, and the remaining 3 tablespoons of olive oil. Add the salad greens and toss. Slice the pie and serve with a salad.
