Ingredients
  • Butter for pan greasing
  • 12 eggs
  • 15-20 spears Roasted asparagus (recipe below)
  • 1¼ cup grated gruyere cheese
  • Several stems fresh tarragon
  • ½ cup Roasted tomatoes (recipe below)
  • 8-10 slices Roasted Onions (recipe below)
  • salt and pepper
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lavishly butter a loaf pan. Heat a kettle of water to boiling and set aside.
  2. In a small bowl, crack 4 eggs and whisk together gently. Pour the beaten eggs into the buttered loaf pan. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Arrange the asparagus, lengthwise in the loaf pan. Sprinkle ½ cup cheese and several fresh tarragon leaves over the asparagus.
  3. Crack and beat 4 more eggs. Pour them over the asparagus and cheese in the loaf pan. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Arrange the tomatoes over the eggs, sprinkle ½ cup cheese over the tomatoes, and sprinkle a few more leaves of tarragon.
  4. Crack and whisk the remaining 4 eggs. Pour over the tomatoes in the loaf pan. Arrange the onion slices over the eggs, and sprinkle the last ¼ cup cheese over the onions. Cover the loaf pan tightly with aluminum foil.
  5. Place the loaf pan into a larger baking pan, and fill larger pan with boiling water until it comes to about ½ way up the loaf pan.
  6. Bake for 1 hour, remove foil lid, and bake for additional 10 minutes, until the top is golden. Serve warm or cold.
