Baked Egg in Fall Vegetables
- 1 teaspoon unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 2/3 cup Stewed Cauliflower, Butternut Squash, and Tomatoes (page 55), cold
- 1 egg
- Kosher or sea salt
- 1 tablespoon dried bread crumbs
- 3 large basil leaves, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
- Preheat the oven to 375F.
- Coat the inside of a large (8-ounce) ramekin with the butter.
- Add 1/3 cup of the vegetables to the ramekin and make a well in the center of the vegetables with a teaspoon.
- Carefully break the egg into the well, season with salt, and top with the remaining 1/3 cup stewed vegetables.
- Mix the bread crumbs with the basil and sprinkle evenly on top of the vegetables; sprinkle the cheese on top.
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until the topping is browned and crisp, and when you use a spoon to gently lift some of the vegetables from the top to uncover the egg, you can see that the white is cooked through but the yolk is still runny.
- Let cool for a few minutes, then eat with a spoon.
