inspired by a recipe from january's gourmet magazine ( eggs with cream, spinach and country ham) i decided to make up a healthy, vegetarian recipe that was along the same lines.
ingredients:
quinoa cooked in vegetable broth
rainbow chard sauteed with a dash of olive oil, garlic powder, lemon pepper and black pepper
parmesan
milk
eggs
hollandaise
in 4 ramekins put a thin layer of quinoa, then a thick layer of chard, well packed, leaving a slight indentation in the center of each dish. drizzle a tablespoon of milk in, grate on some parmesan cheese, then crack on egg in each dish and bake at 375 until the egg white is fully cooked. top with a spoonful of hollandaise.
deelish.
what made this especially tasty were the super expensive super high quality eggs. i might be sold on them.
tripp, i kind of resent that 'human cheese' comes up as a related post in the sidebar. as does 'more on human cheese', and 'some thoughts behind the reasoning of wanting human cheese'.
I suppose the real issue here is: could you make this dish with human cheese? I think it would really bring out the chard.
I suppose taking the easy way out would be to just substitute the milk, but I digress…
(I shudder to think about our children reading through this site decades from now.)
