Ingredients
- 1/4 cup panko bread crumbs, divided
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 2 large shallots , chopped (about 1/2 cup)
- 1 teaspoon coarsely crushed McCormick Gourmet™ Organic Peppercorn Melange
- 1/2 teaspoon McCormick Gourmet™ Sicilian Sea Salt, divided
- 1/2 large bunch Swiss chard, stems and large center ribs removed, leaves quartered or halved lengthwise, then cut crosswise into 1 inch slices (5 loosely packed cups)
- 1 tablespoon water
- 2 medium plum tomatoes , seeded and chopped (about 3/4 cup)
- 4 eggs
- 1/2 cup crumbled goat cheese, (chévre) about 3 ounces
INSTRUCTIONS
- 1 Preheat oven to 400°F. Generously butter four 6- to 8-ounce ramekins or custard cups. Place on baking sheet. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of the panko in bottom of each cup
- 2 Melt butter in large skillet on medium heat. Add shallots, crushed peppercorns and 1/4 teaspoon of the sea salt; cook and stir 3 minutes or until tender. Add Swiss chard and water; cook and stir on medium-low heat about 8 minutes or until tender
- 3 Spoon about 1/4 cup of the Swiss chard into each ramekin. Top each with 1/4 of the tomatoes. Make a depression in the vegetables. Place 1 egg into each depression, taking care not to break the yolk. Season with remaining 1/4 teaspoon sea salt. Sprinkle goat cheese evenly over eggs
