#Vegetable Hash with Poached Eggs by Denise Swanson



When I looked in my fridge and saw that I had nearly an entire carton of eggs with a looming expiration date, I resolved to find a recipe to use them up. Flipping through my binder, I spotted this one and realized that I had never tried it. After a quick trip to the supermarket for some key ingredients and a few tweaks we had a delicious meal. 



Ingredients
4 teaspoons olive oil
1 tablespoon dried herbes de Provence










1 cup chopped Vidalia or other sweet onion
1 cup (1/4-inch-thick) slices fingerling or small red potatoes
2 large diced zucchini
1 cup green beans, trimmed and cut into 1/2-inch pieces







1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, divided
15 oz. can diced tomatoes
1 tsp. dried parsley
1 tablespoon white vinegar
4 large eggs
1 ounce Parmesan cheese, shredded (about 1/4 cup)

Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add oil and swirl to coat. Add onion, potatoes, and herbes de Provence. Spread mixture in a single layer in pan. Cook 4 minutes, without stirring, or until potatoes are lightly browned.






Reduce heat to medium. Stir in zucchini, beans, salt, and 3/8 teaspoon pepper. Cook 3 minutes. Remove pan from heat. Cover and let stand 5 minutes. 









Stir in tomato and parsley.
A












dd water to a large skillet, filling two-thirds full; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to simmer. Stir in vinegar. Break each egg into a custard cup. Gently pour eggs into pan and cook 3 minutes or until desired degree of doneness. Carefully remove eggs from pan using a slotted spoon. 

Divide squash mixture evenly among 4 plates and top each serving with 1 egg. Sprinkle eggs evenly with remaining 1/8 teaspoon pepper and Parmesan cheese.



OUT NOW:  A CALL TO CHARMS (FIRST IN THE FOREVER CHARMED MYSTERY SERIES)



A Call to Charms

Chocolate, men, and magic. Who can turn down that inheritance?
     If life had gone as she planned, Lexie Green would have been teaching English at a prestigious university, not persuading spoiled, rich women to buy overpriced clothes they didn’t need and often looked ridiculous wearing. Can you say electric yellow see-through skirts and Torn jeans with unfinished hems?    
     Still, although this isn’t the life Lexie would have chosen, all is going well. At least until Lexie is fired and her deranged ex-boyfriend tries to kidnap her.
     Deciding that it’s better to accept a mysterious inheritance from a great aunt she’s never heard of rather than end up kept in a cage as her ex’s pet poodle, Lexie packs up and heads to Kansas. So, what if she has to go by a new name and live in a town that she can’t find on a map?
     Unfortunately, once she arrives in her new hometown, everyone there seems just a tad off-kilter and Lexie’s cousin insists that the citizens are magical. At least there are a couple of hot guys hanging around for eye candy.
     Even though Lexie doesn’t believe the nonsense about her being the Ravenscraft Shield, she does believe her father was murdered—a father she never knew existed, and she investigates his death.
     Too bad, whoever killed her father, now wants Lexie dead as well.

  2. Dinner tonight is somewhat like this--what's in the frig that needs to be eaten? Cooked rice medley. Check. Eggs. Check. Carrots? I think I'll use a peeler and make thin strips. Check. Onion. Check. Grated cheddar. Check.
