Description

Indulge in a reimagined Eggs Benedict, where the familiar comfort of the classic dish meets a contemporary twist. We've artfully replaced the traditional English muffin with a substantial, earthy portabella mushroom cap, offering a delightful and wholesome foundation for this elegant creation. Imagine sinking your fork into a tender, yielding mushroom, its umami notes complementing the rich flavors that await.

Atop this savory base rests a generous layer of thinly sliced Canadian bacon, its smoky sweetness providing a delectable counterpoint to the other elements. The bacon is carefully selected to ensure a delicate balance of flavor, never overpowering, but always present. The true stars of this dish are the perfectly poached eggs, each one a glistening orb of culinary perfection.

With a gentle touch, the yolks burst forth, cascading into a golden river that mingles with the other ingredients, creating a luxurious sauce that coats every morsel. And then there's the hollandaise, a velvety smooth emulsion that elevates this dish to new heights. Made with fresh ingredients and a touch of lemon, the hollandaise is a testament to classic technique, a harmonious blend of richness and acidity that awakens the palate.

Its creamy texture and bright flavor are the perfect complement to the earthy mushroom, the smoky bacon, and the runny egg yolks, bringing all the components together in perfect harmony. This innovative take on Eggs Benedict is more than just a breakfast or brunch option; it's an experience. It's a celebration of flavors and textures, a culinary adventure that will leave you feeling satisfied and invigorated.

Whether you're looking for a healthy and delicious way to start your day or a sophisticated dish to impress your guests, this portabella mushroom Eggs Benedict is sure to delight. Consider preparing a larger batch of the hollandaise sauce – its versatility extends far beyond this recipe, and you'll find yourself reaching for it again and again to enhance other dishes. Savor each bite of this symphony of flavors, and allow yourself to be transported to a world of culinary bliss.

Instructions

    1.
    Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Remove the stems from 2 portabella mushroom caps. Place the caps on a lined baking tray or in a glass baking dish. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
    2.
    Place a slice of Canadian bacon inside each mushroom cap, adjusting as needed to fit. Bake for 20 minutes, then set aside to cool slightly.
    3.
    In a bowl, whisk together the egg yolk, water, and lemon juice. Consider doubling the ingredients for easier cooking and leftover sauce.
    4.
    Pour the egg mixture into a small pot over very low heat. Continually whisk until the mixture becomes pale yellow and thick enough to hold ripples. Avoid overcooking to prevent scrambling.
    5.
    Remove the hollandaise sauce from the heat and quickly whisk in the butter until smooth. Season with a pinch of salt and paprika. Set aside.
    6.
    Heat olive oil in a small pan over medium heat. Crack in both eggs and cook to your liking (over-medium recommended). Alternatively, you can poach the eggs.
    7.
    Arrange the 2 portabella caps with bacon on a plate. Top each with an egg, followed by approximately 1 tablespoon of hollandaise sauce. Sprinkle with additional paprika if desired. Enjoy immediately!
