Ingredients
– 4 large eggs
– 1 cup polenta
– 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
– 1/2 cup heavy cream
– 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
– 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 2 tablespoons truffle oil
– Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
1. 1. Bring the broth to a boil in a medium saucepan. Gradually whisk in the polenta and reduce heat to low. Cook, stirring frequently, until the polenta is thick and creamy, about 15-20 minutes.
2. 2. Remove the polenta from heat and stir in the heavy cream and Parmesan. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
3. 3. In a skillet, sauté the mushrooms in the olive oil over medium-high heat until browned and tender, about 5-7 minutes.
4. 4. Poach the eggs in simmering water until the whites are set and the yolks are still runny, about 4-5 minutes.
5. 5. To serve, divide the creamy polenta among plates and top each portion with a poached egg. Spoon the sautéed mushrooms over the top and drizzle with the truffle oil.
Notes
For a richer flavor, use a combination of regular and wild mushrooms. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley or chives for added color and flavor.
