SKILLET EGGS WITH MUSHROOMS AND ASPARAGUS

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 bunch asparagus, trimmed and cut into large pieces
4 ounces oyster mushrooms, trimmed and torn
5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 cloves garlic, grated
2 teaspoons fresh thyme
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
8 large eggs
1/2 baguette, sliced on the bias
Chopped fresh parsley, grated parmesan cheese and red pepper flakes, for topping

Steps:

  • Preheat a grill to medium high. Put the asparagus and mushrooms in separate bowls; toss each with 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 garlic clove, 1 teaspoon thyme and a pinch each of salt and pepper. Place the asparagus and mushrooms on opposite sides of a grill basket and grill, tossing occasionally, until tender and browned around the edges, about 3 minutes for the asparagus and 7 minutes for the mushrooms. Remove to a large plate.
  • Heat a large cast-iron skillet on the grill; add the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil. Crack the eggs into a bowl, then pour into the skillet; season with salt. Scatter the vegetables around the egg whites, avoiding the yolks. Cook, rotating the skillet, until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny, 5 to 8 minutes. Meanwhile, grill the bread until lightly charred, 1 minute per side.
  • Remove the skillet from the grill and sprinkle with parsley, parmesan and red pepper flakes. Serve with the grilled bread.

MUSHROOM EGGS BENEDICT



Mushroom eggs benedict image

Shine a light on the earthy flavour of mushrooms with this eggs benedict. Brilliant for brunch, it's great with seasonal mushrooms, such as porcini and ceps

Provided by Esther Clark

Categories     Breakfast, Brunch

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp unsalted butter
250g mixed mushrooms (or use portobello)
1 small garlic clove, crushed
150g spinach or chard, roughly chopped
4 eggs
2 large, thick slices of sourdough or 2 English muffins, toasted
small handful of chopped chives or tarragon
40ml white wine vinegar, plus extra for the ramekin
5 peppercorns
1 bay leaf
2 egg yolks (freeze the whites for another recipe)
100g unsalted butter, melted

Steps:

  • Heat the oil and butter in a frying pan over a medium heat until foaming, then fry the mushrooms for 10 mins until just golden brown. Add the garlic and spinach and fry for 5 mins more, then season with salt and black pepper and set aside.
  • To make the hollandaise, tip the vinegar, peppercorns, bay leaf and 40ml water into a small pan. Simmer over a low heat until the liquid has reduced by two-thirds. Remove from the heat and set aside.
  • Fill a large pan a third full with water and bring to a gentle simmer. Whisk the egg yolks with 1 tbsp of the vinegar mixture in a heatproof bowl for 3-5 mins until just aerated. Set the bowl over the simmering water and slowly drizzle in the melted butter, whisking until all the butter has been incorporated and the mixture has emulsified. Remove from the heat and taste for seasoning. Add a little more of the vinegar mixture or salt and pepper, if you like.
  • Bring a pan of lightly salted water to the boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Wipe a little vinegar around a small ramekin using kitchen paper, then crack in one of the whole eggs. Swirl the simmering water using a wooden spoon and wait for the vortex to begin to subside. When it does, gently tip the egg into the middle and cook for 3 mins. Scoop out onto a plate using a slotted spoon, then repeat with the remaining eggs. Reheat the mushrooms over a low heat, then pile these on top of the toast. Top with the poached eggs, hollandaise and chives or tarragon.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all the ingredients and equipment you need. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling (pun intended) in the kitchen.
  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The fresher your ingredients, the better your eggs Benedict will taste. Look for bright, crisp asparagus, firm mushrooms, and farm-fresh eggs.
  • Cook the asparagus and mushrooms properly: Asparagus should be tender but still slightly crisp, while mushrooms should be sautéed until they are golden brown and fragrant.
  • Poach the eggs perfectly: The key to a successful eggs Benedict is perfectly poached eggs. Use a shallow saucepan with simmering water and gently slide your eggs into the water. Cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the whites are set and the yolks are still runny.
  • Make a flavorful hollandaise sauce: Hollandaise sauce is the classic accompaniment to eggs Benedict. Make sure to use clarified butter and whisk the sauce over low heat to prevent it from curdling.
  • Assemble the eggs Benedict carefully: Place the toasted English muffins on a plate, top with the asparagus, mushrooms, and poached eggs. Then, spoon the hollandaise sauce over the eggs and garnish with chives or paprika.
