Vegetarian Skillet Chili With Eggs And Cheddar Recipes

SHEET PAN VEGETARIAN CHILI WITH CHEESY CORNBREAD BISCUITS

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler. Toss the scallions, poblanos, sweet potatoes and cauliflower with the vegetable oil, chili powder, garlic powder, cumin and 1 teaspoon salt on a sheet pan; spread in a single layer. Broil, tossing halfway through, until the vegetables are browned around the edges, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, whisk the cornmeal, flour, brown sugar, baking powder and 1 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl. Stir in the corn and 1/3 cup of the Cheddar. Add the buttermilk and butter and stir to combine.
• Remove the sheet pan and adjust the oven temperature to 475 degrees F. Add the tomato sauce, black beans with their liquid, vegetable broth and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt to the roasted vegetables and gently stir. Spoon the biscuit dough on top in 12 mounds, about 1 1/2 inches apart. Sprinkle the biscuits with the remaining 1/3 cup Cheddar.
• Bake until the chili starts bubbling and the biscuits are golden and cooked through, 25 to 30 minutes. Serve with sliced scallions, shredded Cheddar, diced avocado, sour cream, cilantro leaves and hot sauce for topping.

VEGETARIAN SKILLET CHILI WITH EGGS AND CHEDDAR

Steps:

• In a large (preferably cast-iron) skillet, melt the butter over medium-high. Add the onion, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic, cumin and chili powder, stir to combine, and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the tomato paste and cook, stirring occasionally, until it begins to stick to the bottom of the pan and turns the color of rust, about 2 minutes.
• Stir in the tomatoes and both cans of beans with their liquid. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer, smashing the beans lightly and stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 20 minutes. Stir in the vinegar, then season to taste with salt.
• Reduce the heat to low. If your chili is thick enough, make four divots evenly spaced in the chili and crack an egg into each divot. (If the chili is not thick enough to hold the divots, don't worry, just crack the eggs on top.) Using a fork or spoon, gently cover the whites with chili. (This helps the whites cook faster and more evenly). Season the eggs with salt and pepper, then sprinkle the chili with Cheddar. Cover and cook until the whites are set and the yolks are still runny, 5 to 7 minutes. Garnish, if desired, with cilantro sprigs. Serve with tortillas, tortilla chips or tostadas alongside.
