Easy, beautiful blend of eggs with veggies perfect for Mom

Mom always said to eat your vegetables, so this Mother’s Day serve her breakfast in bed inspired by a walk through the garden.

We began with the idea of egg-in-a-hat, in which an egg is cracked into a hole cut in the center of a slice of bread. The whole thing is pan-fried, usually just until the white is set.

Instead of toast, we used the same idea with a bed of vegetables. We sauteed a vegetable hash, then nestled eggs into the center of it.

Skillet Garden Eggs With Fontina

Start to finish: 20 minutes; servings: 2

1 tablespoon olive oil

2 slices prosciutto, chopped

1 small red onion, chopped

2 cups chopped Swiss chard (preferably rainbow)

1/2 small zucchini, finely chopped

1/2 cup halved cherry or grape tomatoes

Salt and ground black pepper

4 eggs

1/2 cup grated fontina cheese

In a large nonstick skillet over medium, heat the olive oil. Add the prosciutto and onion and saute until the onion is tender, about 5 minutes. Add the Swiss chard and zucchini and cook for another 5 to 6 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and beginning to brown.

Add the tomatoes and season with salt and pepper. Stir well, then arrange the vegetables in an even layer. Using a spoon, create 4 wells in the vegetables, each about 2 inches wide. Crack an egg into each well. Cover the skillet and cook until just shy of desired doneness, about 3 to 4 minutes. Sprinkle the cheese over the eggs, then cover and cook for another minute. Transfer half of the vegetables and 2 eggs onto each plate.
