Wake up! The editors of RESTAURANT HOSPITALITY recently got their wake-up call when three amazing chefs paid a visit to prepare several egg dishes mama never dreamt of. Their point: Eggs are fantastic in any daypart, and they don't have to be so darn American. With a little spice here and an herb there, eggs can take on a decidedly Mexican, Asian or European accent.
Making it look easy were American Egg Board Chef Ambassadors Jennifer Jasinki, the chef/owner of Rioja in Denver; Heather Terhune, the executive chef of Atwood Cafè and South Water Kitchen in Chicago; and Cindy Hutson, the chef/owner of Ortanique in Coral Gables and Las Vegas, and Copra in Baltimore.
What follow are recipes for Cindy's Baked Vine-Ripe Tomatoes with Poached Eggs; Heather's Fried Egg Salmon BLT; and Jennifer's Stuffed Artichoke Hearts with Tuna Tartare and Fried Egg Yolk. You'll also see photos of four other recipes, which you can access from RESTAURANT HOSPITALITY 's website: www.restaurant-hospitality.com
