Saffron and Honey

Eat Chic

May 25, 2012

Portobello, poached egg, and spicy sausage

Rainy day breakfast made easy – some spicy sausage from our evening at The Meat Hook, sauteed mushrooms, a poached egg, and a scattering of the freshest parsley.

The breakfast of champions, as far as I am concerned.

You’ll need:

  • 2 portobello mushrooms
  • 2 T olive oil
  • 1/2 T butter
  • 1 clove garlic, finely chopped
  • 1 t za’taar
  • pinch of salt
  • 3 T fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 egg (you can use the 1 minute poached egg trick!)
  • 1 spicy sausage

1. Scrub and wash mushrooms thoroughly. Trim the stems and give the stems and caps a rough chop.

2. Melt butter in the olive oil. Add garlic and mushrooms, salt and za’taar, and saute on medium heat until tender and fragrant.

3. In the meantime, cook the sausage (pierce it a few times with a fork before cooking so that it doesn’t burst). Depending on how much time you have, you can fry the sausage or ‘sear’ it and then finish in the oven. Chop roughly.

4. Mix prepared mushrooms with parsley and sausage; poach egg, and serve immediately.

    What a tasty way to start the day. The za’taar must have added great flavor to the dish.

      Thanks, Karen! I love the subtle but earthy flavor of za’taar.

How do you pâté? My favorite from @3pigspate is the Pork & Chicken Liver Pâté with Armagnac​ aka
“Grandma’s Pâté.” This coarse pâté is made with pork, chicken liver, and spices with a bit of armagnac. All natural and minimally processed, made and sliced by hand and DELICIOUS ❤️ // I like it on a sweet cracker or with pain d’epices!
