Instructions

  • Once all the potatoes are diced place a saucepan over medium heat and drizzle the oil.

  • Stir once or twice and season with salt and pepper.
  • Add the mushrooms, shallot and garlic into the pan and continue to sauté for a further 3-4 minutes shaking once or twice ( without the lid ). Add the butter and toss to coat the vegetables in the foaming butter. set aside until needed.
  • In the meantime, poach the eggs. Working with 1 or 2 eggs at a time, crack each egg onto separate ramekins or saucers. Add lemon juice to a saucepan filled with water.
  • Bring to a light boil over medium-high heat until the water is just simmering with small bubbles rising from the base of pan.
  • Using a whisk, stir the water in one direction to create a whirlpool. Slide the egg from saucer into centre of whirlpool and simmer for 3-4 minutes, without stirring.
  • Lift the egg onto a clean towel to drain.
  • Spoon and divide the potato mixture in serving dishes and add the poached eggs over. Season with salt and pepper and enjoy while hot!
