Ingredients
- Portobello mushrooms
- 4 large, stems removed
- Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons
- Salt
- to taste
- Black pepper
- to taste
- Canadian bacon
- 4 slices
- Eggs
- 4 large
- Chives
- 2 tablespoons, finely chopped
- Hollandaise sauce
- 1 cup
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Brush the portobello mushroom caps with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and place them on a baking sheet. Roast for 10 minutes until tender.
- While the mushrooms are roasting, prepare the hollandaise sauce (see below).
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook the Canadian bacon until browned and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- In a separate pot, bring water to a gentle simmer. Crack each egg into a small bowl and carefully slide them into the simmering water. Poach the eggs for about 4 minutes, until the whites are set but the yolks remain runny.
- To assemble, place a slice of Canadian bacon on each roasted mushroom cap. Top with a poached egg and generously drizzle with hollandaise sauce.
- Garnish with chopped chives, season with additional salt and pepper if desired, and serve immediately.
Tips
- For a vegetarian version, substitute Canadian bacon with sautéed spinach or a slice of firm avocado.
- Experiment with different types of mushrooms, like shiitake or cremini, for unique flavors.
