- ½ bunchSwiss chard
- ½ lbfingerling potatoes
- Knick Knacks:
- 2 tbspgrated Parmesan cheese
- ½ tspground espelette pepper
- 1shallot
- ¼ tspcrushed red pepper flakes
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 475°F.
- Wash and dry the fresh produce.
- Halve the baguette.
- Thinly slice the potatoes into rounds.
- Peel and medium dice the shallot.
- Peel the garlic. Leaving 1 clove whole, roughly chop the remaining cloves.
- Cut out and discard the stems, ribs, and seeds of the sweet peppers, then medium dice.
- Separate the chard leaves and stems. Roughly chop the leaves and thinly slice the stems, keeping them separate.
- In a medium pan (nonstick and oven-safe, if you have one), heat 2 teaspoons of olive oil on medium-high until hot.
- Add the potatoes; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, 4 to 6 minutes, or until lightly browned and slightly softened.
- Add the shallot, chopped garlic, sweet peppers, and chard stems to the pan; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, 3 to 5 minutes, or until softened and fragrant.
- Add the chard leaves, crushed tomatoes, ground espelette pepper, ¼ cup of water, and as much of the red pepper flakes as you’d like, depending on how spicy you’d like the dish to be; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, 7 to 9 minutes, or until slightly thickened. Turn off the heat; season with salt and pepper to taste. *(If your pan isn’t oven-safe, transfer to a baking dish.)*
- Using a spoon, create 2 wells in the center of the pan of sauce. Crack an egg into a bowl; carefully pour into 1 well. Repeat with the remaining egg. Season with salt and pepper. Evenly top the eggs with ⅔ of the cheese.
- Bake 7 to 9 minutes, or until the egg whites are set and the yolks are cooked to your desired degree of doneness.
- Leaving the oven on, remove the baked shakshuka from the oven. Let stand for at least 2 minutes.
- While the shakshuka bakes, place the baguette on a sheet pan, cut side up. Drizzle with 2 teaspoons of olive oil; season with salt and pepper.
- Toast in the oven for 7 to 9 minutes, or until browned and the edges are crispy.
- Remove from the oven. When cool enough to handle, carefully rub the cut sides of the toasted baguette with the whole garlic clove; discard the clove. Transfer to a serving dish.
- Garnish the baked shakshuka with the remaining cheese. Serve with the garlic toasts on the side. Enjoy!
