April 27, 2016

Adeles executive chef and partner Travis McShane prepares this egg dish served in individual skillets for brunch, and now you can too.

Ingredients

1 (28-ounce) can whole plum tomatoes (San Marzano brand, preferably), drained

1 Tablespoon extra virgin olive oIl

1/2 cup polenta or cornmeal

2 cups lightly salted water

4 tablespoons butter

1/2 cup pecorino or Parmesan cheese

1/4 cup heavy cream

3 cups warm polenta

1½ cups roasted tomatoes

2 teaspoon red chili flakes

1 red onion, sliced

12 organic eggs

1½ cups pecorino or Parmesan cheese

Preparation

1. To prepare tomatoes: preheat oven to 350°F. Put tomatoes in nonreactive roasting pan. Drizzle with a little extra virgin olive oil and toss. Bake 30 minutes or until tomatoes start to char.

2. To prepare polenta, bring water to a boil, slowly add polenta, whisking constantly to prevent lumping. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook 30-45 minutes or until thick. Add butter, cheese, and cream, stirring gently. (Can be made ahead and stored in refrigerator for up to 3 days).

3. To assemble egg skillets, preheat oven to 400°F. In a skillet, add ½ cup warm polenta, top with 2 tablespoons roasted tomatoes, ¼ teaspoon chili flakes, and a few slices of onion. Crack 2 eggs over tomatoes, cover with ¼ cup cheese, and bake 12 minutes or until whites are firm.
