Mushroom & Asparagus Eggs Benedict image

This recipe is easy to make, but it looks like you cooked for hours. I like to serve it with broiled grapefruit topped with brown sugar and ginger for breakfast, and a mixed green-tomato salad tossed with balsamic vinaigrette for brunch or dinner. -Nadine Mesch, Mount Healthy, Ohio

Yield 4 servings.

Number Of Ingredients 16

12 fresh asparagus spears
3 teaspoons olive oil, divided
1 shallot, finely chopped
2 tablespoons butter, divided
2-2/3 cups sliced baby portobello mushrooms
2-1/2 cups sliced fresh shiitake mushrooms
1 garlic clove, minced
1/4 cup sherry
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon minced fresh basil
1 tablespoon white vinegar
4 eggs
4 slices French bread (3/4 inch thick), toasted
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar

Steps:

  • Saute asparagus in 1 teaspoon oil in a large skillet until crisp-tender; remove and keep warm., Saute shallot in remaining oil and 1 tablespoon butter in the same skillet until tender. Add mushrooms and garlic; cook 4 minutes longer. Add sherry, stirring to loosen browned bits from pan. Stir in cream and salt. Bring to a boil. Cook and stir for 1-2 minutes or until slightly thickened. Stir in basil., Meanwhile, place 2-3 inches of water in a large skillet with high sides; add white vinegar. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer gently. Break cold eggs, one at a time, into a custard cup or saucer; holding the cup close to the surface of the water, slip each egg into water., Cook, uncovered, until whites are completely set and yolks are still soft, about 4 minutes. With a slotted spoon, lift eggs out of the water., Spread remaining butter over toast slices. Top each with asparagus, a poached egg and mushroom mixture. Sprinkle with pepper and drizzle with balsamic vinegar. Serve immediately.

The hollandaise sauce was a bit too thick for my taste. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

The asparagus was a bit tough. I think I'll blanch it next time before adding it to the dish.

This dish was a bit too rich for my taste. I think I'll try it again with less hollandaise sauce.
