Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (divided)
- 2 heaping cups mixed mushrooms (chopped*)
- 1 teaspoon salt (divided)
- 1 cup leek (white part only chopped (from 3 medium))
- 1 cup asparagus (bottoms trimmed, chopped)
- 1 cup peas (blanched (see notes))
- 1 cup vegetable broth
- 6 eggs
- 3 tablespoons feta (crumbled)
- Za’atar or black pepper
Instructions
- Heat half of the oil In a large skillet over medium heat, add mushrooms and ¼ teaspoon of salt. Cook mushrooms for 7-10 minutes, stirring every 2 minutes to allow the edges to evenly caramelize. Remove from the pan.
- Add the remaining oil, leeks and ¼ teaspoon of salt to the same pan and cook until aromatic, about 3 minutes.
- Add asparagus, mix to combine and cover to steam, 4-5 mins.
- While asparagus steams, blend peas, veggie broth and ¼ teaspoon salt in a high speed blender until smooth.
- Return mushrooms to pan, add pea broth & stir to combine. Allow the broth to slightly reduce.
- Make 6 holes and gently drop in the eggs, keeping the yolks intact; sprinkle eggs with remaining ¼ teaspoon of salt.
- Cover and simmer on medium-low, 5 to 6 minutes, or until the egg whites are cooked through and no longer runny.
- Remove from the heat; top with feta and a sprinkle of za’atar.
Notes
*Super umami mushrooms like trumpet, shiitake & oyster are great for this dish.
• Frozen peas can be pureed without pre-blanching; fresh peas must be blanched
• Za’atar can be skipped, but a crack of fresh black pepper is suggested in its place
• Serve with toasted bread or pita
