Ingredients

  • 2 large Portobello mushrooms, stems removed 1 ripe avocado, pitted and sliced 4 strips of sugar
  • free bacon, cooked and crumbled 2 large eggs 1 tbsp white vinegar Freshly ground black pepper, to taste Sea salt, to taste Olive oil, for drizzling Chopped fresh parsley or chives, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Place Portobello mushrooms on a lined baking sheet and season with salt and pepper. Drizzle with olive oil and bake for 10 minutes.
  3. While mushrooms are baking, prepare the poached eggs. Fill a shallow pan with water and bring to a simmer. Add white vinegar. Crack each egg into a separate ramekin or small bowl.
  4. Slide an egg from its container into the simmering water. Cook for 3 minutes for a soft poached egg or 4 minutes for a medium poach. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside on a clean kitchen towel.
