Roasted Mushrooms & Poached Egg Salad

Roasted Mushrooms & Poached Egg Salad

with Arugula & Fresh, Shaved Parm

I don't know where the inspiration for this one came from, but I think I was craving a poached egg and new I needed a salad for this week. When describing the salad concept to friends and the bf, I realized that it sounds like an incredibly fancy dish. However, I promise you it is a super speedy and easy recipe! I'm not going to delve into how to poach an egg below as there are a gazillion methods (if you don't know how to do this there are numerous websites and probably YouTube vids that can guide you step-by-step). I will admit to using an egg poacher for this dish. I'm not sure that it's my preferred poaching method, but I had one and thought I'd give it a shot. The eggs came out pretty good but I think I like the old school way of submerging them in water better. What I can say is that you want to make sure you don't overcook the egg. The whole point of this dish is for the yolk to act as the dressing so you wan tit to be as runny as possible. I had a friend over dinns and made this and we both loved it. I hope you enjoy it too! Bon appetit!

Ingredients: 

• 1 egg, raw
• 1 cup arugula
• 1/2 pckg (about 1/2 cup) excotic mixed mushrooms (or any mushroom of choice)
• 1 slice fresh, shaved parm or pecorino (I used pecorino)
• 1 Tbsp olive oil
• 1/8 tsp truffle oil
• 1 tsp olive oil
• salt & pepper to taste

Turn over to Briol-Low heat setting. In small sautee pan, heat 1 Tsbp olive oil and 1/8 tsp truffle oil. Once oil is warm, add mushrooms and sautee until soft. Remove mushrooms from pan and place on broiler pan. Place mushrooms in oven on top rack and broil until lightly browned. 

While mushrooms are broiling, poach egg. While egg is poaching, place 1 cup arugula on plate and drizzle 1 tsp of olive oil (add salt & pepper to taste). Pull mushrooms from the oven and place on top of arugula. Shave one slice of fresh parm and break into shaving pieces. Lay parm shavings over mushrooms. Pull egg from water and place on top of cheese. Lightly salt & pepper egg. Voila! Enjoy.
