Description
Indulge in this comforting and flavor-packed dish of poached eggs nestled on a bed of creamy polenta, topped with sautéed mushrooms and drizzled with fragrant truffle oil.
Ingredients
– 4 large eggs
– 4 cups water
– 1 cup polenta
– 2 tablespoons butter
– 8 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced
– 1/4 cup milk
– 2 tablespoons truffle oil
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
1. 1. Bring 4 cups of water to a gentle simmer in a saucepan.
2. 2. Carefully crack the eggs into the simmering water and poach for 4-5 minutes, until the whites are set and the yolks are still runny.
3. 3. In a separate saucepan, bring the milk and 1/4 teaspoon of salt to a simmer. Slowly whisk in the polenta and cook, stirring frequently, until thickened, about 5-7 minutes.
4. 4. In a skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.
5. 5. To serve, spoon the creamy polenta into bowls and top with the poached eggs. Drizzle the mushrooms and polenta with the truffle oil and season with black pepper.
Notes
For a creamier polenta, add an extra splash of milk or cream. You can also experiment with different types of mushrooms, such as shiitake or oyster, for added flavor.
