Eggs In a Nest & Mustard Greens Lasagna

These recipes were contributed by CSA member Robin Fowler. Thanks Robin!


Steve and I have made a couple of recipes recently / modified from other places. I'll share them here, and if you want, you can add them to your recipe list.

Eggs in a nest (modified from _Animal Vegetable Miracle_ by Barbara Kingsolver and family)
-chop 1/2 onion and some cloves of garlic. Saute that in olive oil over med heat for a few minutes. (Use a BIG frying pan).
-wash, chop a bunch of beautiful rainbow chard. Add it to the saucepan and continue cooking over med heat, covered.
-wash, chop a few mushrooms. Add to the mix, continue cooking, covered, a few more minutes. When chard and mushrooms have cooked down, seem soft, use spoon to create "nests" in the greens mix (1 "nest" per person).
-Crack eggs into the nests (one per person). Poach eggs like that, with pan covered, for 3-5 minutes (until egg reaches desired "doneness").
We put a little sea salt over the whole thing and really enjoyed it...

Mustard Greens and Cheese Lasagna (quite modified, but based loosely on recipe from back of Meijer brand "oven ready" lasagna noodles)
-saute a bunch of chopped mustard greens, sliced garlic (maybe 10 cloves), and chopped onion (maybe 1 medium) in olive oil, then put in bowl/ set aside.
-mix in another bowl, 1 14 oz. container cottage cheese, 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, 2 eggs, chopped basil pieces (I didn't have fresh, so I used dried/ would probably be better with fresh)
-you'll also need 1 box lasagna noodles (I used the kind that say they are "oven ready"/ don't need to be boiled first), 2 big jars of tomato sauce, 1 more cup of shredded mozzarella cheese, and some freshly grated parmesan.

In two smallish pans (8x11?), put a thin layer of sauce, then a layer of noodles, veggies, cheeses, sauce, noodles, veggies, cheeses, sauce, etc. Top with noodles, sauce, and the extra 1 cup of mozz cheese/ I then added some freshly grated parmesan to the very top.

Use tin foil to cover the pans tightly.

Bake 45 minutes at 375 degrees F. Leave covered for 10 min after removing from oven.

Hope people will enjoy!
