Seared Scallions with Poached Eggs image

Provided by Bon Appétit Test Kitchen

Yield Makes 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 bunches scallions
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 large eggs

Steps:

Mince 1 whole scallion, transfer to a bowl, and whisk in 2 tablespoons oil and lemon juice. Season to taste with salt and pepper and set scallion sauce aside. Put the remaining scallions on a plate. Drizzle with remaining oil and toss to coat. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Heat a large cast-iron grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook scallions, turning occasionally, until tender and slightly charred, about 5 minutes. Divide scallions between plates.
Pour 1/2 cup water into each of two 8-ounce microwave-safe coffee cups. Crack 1 egg into each cup, making sure it's completely submerged. Cover each with a saucer. Microwave 1 egg on high until white is set but yolk is runny, about 1 minute (cooking time will vary depending on microwave). Uncover; using a slotted spoon, transfer egg to top of 1 serving of scallions. Dress with half of the scallion sauce. Repeat with remaining egg and sauce; serve.

Eggs Poached in Buttery Sorrel Sauce image

Provided by Melissa Clark

Time 30m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 fat scallions, trimmed
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 large bunch sorrel (about 4 ounces), stems trimmed
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, more to taste
Ground black pepper
1/4 cup heavy cream
4 large eggs
Chile flakes, like Aleppo, Turkish or crushed red pepper
Flaky salt, like Maldon, for serving
Buttered toast, for serving

Steps:

Thinly slice scallions, separating darker green parts for garnish.
In a skillet over medium heat, melt butter. Add light green and white parts of scallion and sauté until wilted, 2 minutes. Add sorrel leaves, salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, until sorrel wilts and starts to break down, turning olive-green in color, about 3 minutes. Stir in cream and let simmer for 1 minute to thicken a bit.
Carefully crack eggs into skillet; they should fit in one layer. Lower heat to medium-low and sprinkle eggs with salt and pepper. Cover pan and let cook for 2 minutes, then turn off heat and let eggs rest, covered, until done to taste, about another 30 seconds for very runny yolks (the whites should cook through).
Carefully scoop eggs and sorrel sauce into two bowls. Season with chile and flaky salt; garnish with scallion greens. Serve with toast.
