Sautéed Wild Mushrooms served on Toasted Bagel with Prosciutto and Poached Eggs

Ingredients

  • ¾ cup white wine vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • ½ cup shallot, finely chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, finely chopped
  • 1 pound assorted wild mushrooms
  • 1 tablespoon flat leaf parsley, finely sliced
  • 4 eggs
  • 2 bagels, split and toasted
  • Olive oil for toasted bagels
  • 4 thin slices prosciutto

Directions

  1. Place large high-sided saucepan on medium heat and fill (nearly) to top with water.
  2. Stir in vinegar and bring to boil.
  3. While water is heating, place large heavy-based fry pan over medium heat.
  4. Add oil and butter and sweat shallots and garlic for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  5. Add mushrooms and sauté for 5 more minutes.
  6. Season to taste with salt and pepper and toss in parsley.
  7. While mushrooms are cooking, crack one egg into coffee cup or small bowl and then gently transfer the egg to the barely simmering water.
  8. Repeat with three more eggs.
  9. Cook eggs for about 3 minutes, or until whites are set but the yolks are still runny.
  10. Using slotted spoon, carefully remove eggs from the simmering water and set them on paper towel to drain excess water.
