    Caramelized Zucchini & Egg Skillet

    Cook the rice
    1 Cook the rice

    Carefully rinse the rice (sifting through for any impurities). Drain thoroughly. In a medium pot, combine the rice, a big pinch of salt, half the spice blend, and 2 cups of water. Heat to boiling on high. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low. Cover and cook, without stirring, 13 to 15 minutes, or until the water has been absorbed and the rice is tender. Turn off the heat and fluff with a fork.

    2 Prepare the ingredients

    Meanwhile, wash and dry the fresh produce. Thinly slice the mushrooms. Halve, peel, and thinly slice the onion. Grate the zucchini on the large side of a box grater. Peel and roughly chop 2 cloves of garlic. Roughly chop the parsley leaves and stems. Roughly chop the peppers.

    Prepare the ingredients
    Start the skillet
    3 Start the skillet

    In a large pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the sliced mushrooms and sliced onion in an even layer. Cook, without stirring, 3 to 4 minutes, or until browned. Add the grated zucchini, chopped garlic, remaining spice blend, and as much of the red pepper flakes as you'd like, depending on how spicy you'd like the dish to be; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, 4 to 5 minutes, or until softened and combined. Add the cooked rice, demi-glace, and cream (shaking the packet before opening); season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until combined.

    4 Finish the skillet & serve your dish

    Using a spoon, create 4 shallow wells in the center of the skillet. Crack an egg into each well; season with salt and pepper. Evenly top the skillet with the fontina. Reduce the heat to low and loosely cover the pan with foil. Cook 7 to 8 minutes, or until the egg whites are set, the yolks are cooked to your desired degree of doneness, and the cheese is melted. Turn off the heat. Serve the finished skillet topped with the prosciutto (removing the plastic lining between the slices and tearing into bite-sized pieces before adding), chopped parsley, chopped peppers, and crispy onions. Enjoy!
