You can make these ahead, without the fried egg on top. Reheat in the oven; then, fry eggs and place on top of each galette just before serving. Ingredients:
simple pastry crust |
1 tablespoon olive oil |
4 cups torn fresh chard or baby spinach leaves, stems removed |
9 large eggs, divided |
1 cup (8 ounces) fresh ricotta cheese |
1 cup (4 ounces) freshly grated parmesan cheese |
8 fresh basil leaves, cut into thin strips |
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt |
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper |
pinch of ground red pepper |
pinch of ground nutmeg |
2 tablespoons milk |
3 tablespoons butter |
Directions:
1. Cover and chill Simple Pastry Crust 1 hour or overnight.
2. Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chard, and cook about 1 minute or until just wilted. Set aside to cool slightly.
3. Whisk 2 eggs in a medium bowl. Stir in ricotta cheese and next 6 ingredients. Stir in cooled chard.
4. Lightly grease 2 large baking sheets or line each with parchment paper. Divide each pastry crust evenly into 3 pieces. Roll each piece into a 6-inch circle on a lightly floured surface. Place on prepared baking sheets. Place about 1/3 cup egg mixture into center of each crust. Fold up about 1 inch of crust around mixture, pinching edge together to create a free-form rim.
5. Combine 1 egg and milk; brush outside of each galette with mixture. Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until edges begin to brown.
6. Melt butter in a very large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Fry remaining 6 eggs to desired degree of doneness. Place 1 egg on each galette. Sprinkle with additional salt and pepper. Serve immediately.
