Approximate cooking time: 10 minutes
Serves 2 – 4
Ingredients
- 4 eggs
- ham, sliced (can use a lean ham or gluten free deli meat like Boar’s Head)
- tomato, sliced
- avocado, sliced
- 4 portobello mushroom caps
Directions
Poach Eggs
- Heat 2 cups of water in medium sauce pan (enough to make it a few inches deep) to the point just before it boils
- Crack an egg into a small dish (one at a time)
- Use a spatula to create a whirlpool like movement in your hot water, then slide the egg into the water
- Cook for approximately 3 – 4 minutes and remove with a slotted spoon, then repeat with remaining eggs
Base
- Heat olive oil in a medium fry pan, add the portobello mushroom caps and cook until softened
- Slice a large tomato and avocado
- Build your ‘base’ by layering the ham, avocado and tomato slice over the mushroom cap
- Serve the egg over the portobello mushroom cap
If you’re feeling extra adventurous use guacamole in place of the plain avocado.
