Baked eggs are a wonderfully decadent way to start your day. Here, nestled amongst sautéed rainbow swiss chard, leek, mushrooms, sun-dried tomatoes and Ricotta cheese, it’s savored with chunks of rustic French bread for dipping. Perfect on a rainy morning (or evening) and served family-style straight out of the pan, it’s a table-pleasing centerpiece. Enjoy!
