Poached Eggs Over Spinach and Mushrooms

Healthy Cooking Tips:

Make sure you do not add any salt to the poaching water for the eggs. The salt has a tendency to dissolve the egg whites. By making sure there is enough water in the poaching pan to cover eggs, you avoid the eggs sticking to the bottom of the pan. You want the eggs to float while they cook. This also avoids breaking the eggs when you remove them with the slotted spoon. It is also important that the water is at a steady simmer and not boiling. You may want to lay the spoon with the egg on a towel briefly after removing egg from water. This allows the towel to absorb some of the poaching water so that the flavor of the mushroom and spinach mixture won't be diluted.

Preparation

Step 1

Thaw spinach or place in boiling water until thawed.
Drain and press out excess water from spinach.
Heat 3 TBS stock over medium heat in a stainless steel skillet.
When stock begins to steam, add sliced mushrooms and sauté for 4 minutes. Add spinach and sauté for 3 more minutes.
Transfer to a bowl. For more flavor, toss crimini mushrooms and spinach with the remaining ingredients while they are still hot.
When water comes to a high simmer, poach eggs for about 5 minutes, or until whites are firm. Remove from water with a slotted spoon and place over spinach and mushroom mixture.
