POACHED EGGS & AVOCADO TOASTS
These take poached eggs to a new level :) Use thick slices of a wholegrain bread or use whatever you have on hand or prefer. Makes a nice meal for brunch, lunch or even an easy dinner :) The cooking time is for bringing the water to a simmer and poaching the eggs. If you are short of time or don't have lemon or lime juice just mash half an avocado straight onto each slice of toast, sprinkle with salt & pepper and follow rest of recipe.

POACHED EGGS AND WILD MUSHROOMS ON TOAST
It seems every chef and many home cooks have strong opinions about the best way to prep mushrooms. They might be scandalized to know that sometimes I rinse my mushrooms instead of cleaning them one by one with a towel. I just don't have the patience. So shoot me! And don't get me started on the idea that mushrooms are best when they're well browned and crispy. I like 'em tender and juicy, as in this recipe. I cook the mushrooms undisturbed in a covered skillet, a technique I learned from my friend Marcia Kiesel, who worked with me for many years at Food & Wine. It sounds bizarre, but it's genius. At first the mushrooms steam in their own liquid; then, as the moisture evaporates, they brown and crisp ever so slightly.

Steps:
- In a large nonstick skillet, melt the butter in the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and a generous pinch each of salt and pepper. Toss quickly, cover, and cook, undisturbed, until the mushrooms are tender and lightly browned on the bottom, about 8 minutes. Transfer to a medium bowl, stir in the lemon juice, and season with salt and pepper. Cover with plastic wrap to keep warm.
- Wipe out the skillet. Fill the skillet with water and heat over medium heat until tiny bubbles appear on the bottom. Stir in the vinegar and a generous pinch of salt. One at a time, crack the eggs into a small bowl and very carefully slide them into the water. Poach over medium heat until the whites are just firm and the yolks are runny, 3 to 5 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the eggs to a plate.
- Meanwhile, toast and butter the bread and then transfer to plates. Stir the basil into the mushrooms and spoon onto the toasts. Carefully slide the poached eggs onto the toasts over the mushrooms. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Serve with a knife and fork.

Steps:
- In a frying pan, heat enough water to cover the egg(s) to a low boil. Add salt.
- Crack an egg into a small bowl. Quickly dip bowl into the water. Slide the raw egg into the water. Immediately slide the other egg into the water in the same fashion.
- TURN OFF HEAT but leave on burner! Cover pan with lid - DO NOT UNCOVER and let sit for 4 to 6 minutes. You can uncover to check them, starting at 4 minutes. You'll know they're done if the white is not really jiggly.
- Using a slotted spoon, gently place eggs on a tea towel. If you use scented detergents or fabric softeners on your towels, do not use them. Instead, slide egg(s) onto good quality paper towels, so the towel doesn't fall apart. Let sit for a few seconds to drain the water.
- Place eggs on to toast, a slice of tomato, steamed spinach and/or a piece of low fat cheese.
Tips:
- Use fresh eggs. Older eggs are more likely to have a thin, watery white and a weak yolk that will not hold its shape when poached.
- Bring the water to a gentle simmer before adding the eggs. Do not let the water boil, as this will cause the eggs to cook too quickly and become tough.
- Add a splash of vinegar or lemon juice to the water. This will help the egg white to set more quickly and prevent it from spreading out too much.
- Cook the eggs for 3-4 minutes, or until the white is set and the yolk is still runny.
- Remove the eggs from the water with a slotted spoon and drain them on paper towels.
- Serve the eggs immediately on toast, with your favorite toppings.
Conclusion:
Poached eggs are a delicious and versatile breakfast, lunch, or dinner option. They are easy to make and can be customized with a variety of toppings. With a little practice, you can poach eggs perfectly every time.
