Poached Eggs With Mushrooms And Tomatoes Recipes

EASY SHAKSHUKA RECIPE

Steps:

• Heat 3 tbsp olive oil in a large cast iron skillet. Add the onions, green peppers, garlic, spices, pinch salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables have softened, about 5 minutes.
• Add the tomatoes and tomato sauce. Cover and let simmer for about 15 minutes. Uncover and cook a bit longer to allow the mixture to reduce and thicken. Taste and adjust the seasoning to your liking.
• Using a wooden spoon, make 6 indentations, or "wells," in the tomato mixture (make sure the indentations are spaced out). Gently crack an egg into each indention.
• Reduce the heat, cover the skillet, and cook on low until the egg whites are set.
• Uncover and add the fresh parsley and mint. You can add more black pepper or crushed red pepper, if you like. Serve with warm pita, challah, or crusty bread of your choice.

POACHED EGGS WITH ROASTED TOMATOES AND PORTABELLAS

Steps:

• Preheat broiler.
• Brush mushrooms and tomatoes with oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Arrange mushrooms, stemmed sides down, and tomato halves, cut sides up, on a broiler pan.
• Broil vegetables about 6 inches from heat, turning over mushrooms halfway through cooking, until tender and tomatoes are slightly charred, about 7 minutes total. (Leave broiler on.)
• While vegetables are broiling, fill a deep 10-inch skillet with 1 1/4 inches cold water. Add white vinegar and bring to a simmer.
• Break 1 egg into a cup, then slide egg into simmering water. Repeat with remaining eggs, spacing them in skillet, and poach at a bare simmer until whites are firm but yolks are still runny, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Gently transfer eggs with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain and season with salt and pepper.
• Sprinkle stemmed sides of mushrooms with balsamic vinegar, then put 1 tomato half, cut side up, on each mushroom and top with an egg. Cover eggs with cheese slices and broil until cheese is just melted, about 1 minute. Sprinkle with chives and serve immediately.

POACHED EGGS WITH MUSHROOMS TWO WAYS

Steps:

• Prepare mushrooms:
• Preheat oven to 450°F with racks in upper and lower thirds.
• Thinly slice two thirds of mushrooms 1/8 inch thick. Toss with 1/4 cup oil, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper, then spread evenly in 2 large 4-sided sheet pans. Roast, switching position of pans and stirring mushrooms occasionally, until all of liquid has evaporated and mushrooms are golden and crisp, 30 to 40 minutes.
• Meanwhile, cut remaining mushrooms into 1/2-inch wedges. Finely chop parsley with garlic. Heat remaining tablespoon oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers, then sautémushroom wedges with 1/4 teaspoon each of salt and pepper 1 minute. Add red-wine vinegar and sauté 1 minute. Stir in parsley mixture and butter and sauté until butter has melted. Season with salt. Remove from heat and keep warm, covered.
• Poach eggs while mushrooms roast:
• Bring 1 1/4 inches water to a boil in a deep large skillet or saucepan with distilled vinegar. Break each egg into a cup and slide egg into water, spacing eggs apart. Poach at a bare simmer until whites are firm but yolks are still runny, 2 to 3 minutes.
• To serve:
• Stir together mushrooms and 1/4 teaspoon toasted cumin in a large bowl, then divide among plates. Lift eggs out of poaching liquid 1 at a time with a slotted spoon and drain briefly in spoon on paper towels before transferring to mushrooms. Drizzle with oil and sprinkle with sea salt and remaining toasted cumin to taste.

POACHED EGGS WITH ROASTED TOMATOES, MUSHROOMS, AND HAM

Steps:

• Roast tomatoes and mushrooms and make sauce:
• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• Toss tomatoes and mushrooms with salt, pepper, and 2 tablespoons oil in a roasting pan. Arrange tomatoes cut sides up, then bake vegetables in lower third of oven until softened, about 20 minutes for mushrooms and 30 minutes for tomatoes. (Transfer mushrooms to a bowl while tomatoes finish roasting.)
• Transfer 8 tomato halves to a blender and purée with 1 tablespoon oil until smooth. (Thin sauce with water if desired.) Season with salt and pepper and transfer to a small ovenproof dish for reheating.
• Toast bread while vegetables roast:
• Brush both sides of bread slices with remaining 2 tablespoons oil, then bake on a baking sheet in upper third of oven until crisp and golden on edges, about 10 minutes. Rub tops of toasts with cut sides of garlic. Leave toasts on baking sheet. (Leave oven on.)
• Poach eggs and finish dish:
• Fill a deep 12-inch skillet or small flameproof roasting pan with 1 1/4 inches cold water. Add vinegar and bring to a simmer to poach eggs.
• Reheat tomato sauce and roasted tomatoes and mushrooms in lower third of oven 5 to 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, fold a slice of ham on top of each toast and heat in upper third of oven until warm, about 3 minutes.
• While other ingredients are reheating, break 1 egg into a cup, then slide egg into simmering water. Repeat with remaining eggs, spacing them apart, and poach at a bare simmer until whites are firm but yolks are still runny, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Transfer eggs with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain and season with salt and pepper. Put 1 or 2 toasts on each plate and top each with a tomato half and a poached egg. Drizzle with tomato sauce and scatter mushrooms around eggs.

POACHED EGGS WITH MUSHROOMS AND TOMATOES

Steps:

• Fill a large, deep skillet with 3 inches of water. Add the vinegar and bring to a bare simmer.
• Meanwhile, heat 1 teaspoon of the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Season the tomatoes with ¼ teaspoon each salt and pepper and cook until just tender, 1 to 2 minutes per side; transfer to a plate.
• Add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the skillet and heat over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms, thyme, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper and cook, tossing occasionally, until golden brown and tender, 6 to 7 minutes.
• Meanwhile, poach the eggs in 2 batches: Crack each of 4 eggs into separate custard cups, then, one at a time, slide gently into the water in the deep skillet. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes for slightly runny yolks and remove with a slotted spoon. Repeat with the remaining 4 eggs.
• Top the bread with the tomatoes, mushrooms, eggs, and Parmesan. Season with ¼ teaspoon each salt and pepper and sprinkle with the chives.
