This elegant yet simple dish transforms humble breakfast ingredients into a gourmet experience.

A single egg, gently cooked until the white is set but the yolk remains lusciously runny, crowns the composition. Fresh chives add a sharp, herbal finish that cuts through the richness.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add a small amount of oil.
  2. Place the flat mushrooms in the skillet and grill for 2-3 minutes per side until tender and lightly charred.
  3. Remove the mushrooms from the pan and arrange them in a ring shape on a serving plate to create a nest.
  4. Spoon the fresh ricotta cheese into the center of the mushroom ring, smoothing it slightly.
  5. Crack the room-temperature egg gently into the center of the ricotta.
  6. Return the plate to the stovetop over low heat or place under a broiler for 2-3 minutes until the egg white is just set but the yolk remains runny.
  7. Sprinkle with finely chopped chives and serve immediately.
