Eggs and Greens

Hollandaise Sauce

Toasted Baguette

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Baguette

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Slice the baguette into 1/2 inch slices and place them on a baking sheet. Brush each slice lightly with olive oil.

  2. 2

    Grill the Greens and Mushrooms

    In a grill pan or skillet over medium heat, sauté the seasonal greens and grilled mushrooms until heated through. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.

Cooking the Eggs

  1. 3

    Poach the Eggs

    Bring a pot of water to a gentle simmer and add a splash of vinegar. Crack each egg into a small bowl, then gently slide them into the simmering water. Cook for about 3-4 minutes or until the whites are set but the yolks remain runny. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.

Making the Hollandaise Sauce

  1. 4

    Prepare the Sauce

    In a heatproof bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, lemon juice, and water. Place the bowl over a pot of simmering water (double boiler) and whisk continuously until the mixture thickens. Slowly drizzle in the melted butter while whisking until the sauce is smooth and creamy. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Assembly

  1. 5

    Assemble the Dish

    Place a layer of grilled seasonal greens on a plate, followed by the grilled mushrooms. Top with the poached eggs, crumbling feta cheese on top. Drizzle generously with the hollandaise sauce.

  2. 6

    Serve

    Arrange the toasted baguette slices on the side and serve immediately.
