Ingredients

QuantityIngredient
3cupsAssorted mushrooms such as white, cremini and shiitake, sliced
3tablespoonsShallots, minced
5tablespoonsButter or margarine Salt and pepper
8Oz's fresh spinach, trimmed and cleaned
1Jar (8 oz's.) Bernaise sauce
3tablespoonsFresh tomato, diced
8Poached eggs
4English muffins, split, toasted

Directions

Saut mushrooms and shallots in 3 tablespoons of butter in large non-stick skillet until tender, 2-3 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Remove from skillet and keep warm. Heat remaining butter in same skillet. Saut spinach until limp, tossing gently. Heat Bernaise sauce in small saucepan over low heat just until warm (Over-heating will cause mixture to separate). Stir in tomato.

% Spoon some of the spinach and mushroom mixture on each muffin half.

Top each with a poached egg. Spoon Bernaise sauce over each muffin.

Serves 4-6.

NOTE: To poach eggs: In a deep 10- to 12-inch non-stick skillet, heat 2-3 inches of water to boiling. Reduce heat to keep water gently simmering. Break cold eggs, one at a time into a custard cup or saucer. Slip gently into water. Cook 3-5 minutes, depending on desired doneness. Lift out eggs with slotted spoon. Eggs can be kept warm in a shallow baking dish filled with warm water. From the files of Al Rice, North Pole Alaska. Feb 1994 Submitted By LAWRENCE KELLIE On 12-23-94
