Our favorite recipe ideas with eggs for dinner

For a protein-rich dinner, nothing prevents you from marry eggs with some ham, two foods that go very well together. Several recipes that we don't always think of can combine these two ingredients. Buckwheat pancakes, for example, require eggs to make the dough. Just use the recipe for 10 pancakes, adapt it by replacing wheat flour with buckwheat flour, and don't add sugar. When you put your dough to cook, garnish your patties with thin slices of ham, break an egg in the center, and sprinkle with gruyère. Fold the patty, revealing the yolk in the center, turn the pepper mill around, and serve as soon as the white has coagulated and the cheese has melted a little.

You can also marry eggs with potatoes in many recipes. Among our favorites and the simplest ones, let us mention the funny potato boats. To prepare them:

  • bake (45 minutes at 180 ° C) large potatoes cut in half lengthwise
  • remove the flesh with a spoon, and mix it with parmesan (or grated gruyère cheese if you don't have it), thyme, crushed garlic, a small knob of butter, salt and pepper;
  • return this preparation to the half-potatoes, filling it two-thirds full, and break an egg over it
  • place in the oven for another 20 minutes before enjoying.

The original recipe for revisiting eggs

If you want to make an original preparation with eggs, why not try our recipe for death trumpet casserole eggs? For 4 people, you will need ramekins and:

  • 4 large eggs
  • 15 cl liquid cream
  • 250 g death's trumpets
  • 35g butter
  • 4 slices of smoked breast
  • a clove of finely chopped garlic
  • a teaspoon of oil
  • a few pinches of Espelette pepper

Calves, scrambled, hard: how to cook eggs in the microwave?

While the oven is preheating to 210 ° C, cut off the feet of the death trumpets, and wash them thoroughly. Melt half the butter in a pan, and brown the mushrooms with the garlic, adding salt and pepper halfway through cooking. Butter the ramekins, and distribute the salt and pepper cream at the bottom, then add the mushrooms. Break the eggs on top, and sprinkle with Espelette pepper.

Put the ramekins in a bain-marie in a baking dish, and cook for ten minutes. In parallel, fry the breast slices in a hot oiled pan. The casseroles are ready when the egg white is set, but the yolk is still liquid. Put the bacon slices on top of the egg, and serve immediately. Guaranteed success!

This recipe can be easily declined by varying the ingredients. You can replace the mushrooms with prunes, the cream with mascarpone, the garlic with tarragon or chives, and the smoked breast with Bayonne ham. The rest of the recipe remains the same, with the egg to lay over the preparation and cooking in a bain-marie in the oven.
