Baked Eggs with Smoked Salmon

Ingredients:

• 8 medium eggs (503)
• 1.5 cups diced leeks, white and pale green parts only (81)
• 1.5 cups chopped arugula, plus a little extra for garnish (10)
• 4 ounces smoked salmon, cut into small cubes (133)
• 2/3 cup grated fat free Parmesan(107)
• 4 tablespoons grated fat free Parmesan, for garnishing (40)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil (119)
• Freshly ground pepper to taste (5)

Method:

1) Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

2) Warm a saute pan over medium-low heat. Add the oil. When hot, add the leeks and saute until just soft, about 4 or 5 minutes. Turn heat off, but keep the leeks in the pan. Add the arugula and stir, allowing the greens to wilt.

3) Grease the four ramekins. Divide the leek/arugula mixture evenly between them. Repeat with the salmon, adding about one ounce to each container in a thin layer over the greens. Next, divide the cheese amongst the four, also in a thin layer, over the salmon.

4) Carefully crack two eggs into each ramekin, taking care to not break the yolk. Atop the eggs, sprinkle each with a tablespoon of Parmesan and finish with a few twists of the pepper mill.

5) Place the ramekins on a shallow baking sheet and bake until the whites have set, about 12-15 minutes.

6) When they are ready, let them rest for a couple minutes- they’ll be too hot to eat immediately!

7) Garnish with a little more chopped arugula and serve.
