Polenta

Reduce heat to low, cook polenta 25-30 minutes. Whisk often. Remove from heat and add butter. Parmesan cheese, salt and pepper. Set aside.
Mushrooms
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high. Add mushrooms and cook until browned, about 5 minutes. Add leek and cook until softened, about 8 minutes. Add garlic and butter, heat until butter is melted. Add white wine vinegar and stir until the liquid evaporates, about 2-3 minutes. Set mushrooms aside.
Poached Egg
- In a large saucepan, bring 3 inches of water and a splash of white vinegar to a simmer over medium-low heat. Crack 1 egg into a small bowl. Gently stir the water in a circle and then gently slip egg into water. Poach about 3-4 minutes, then remove egg with slotted spoon and pat dry. Repeat with remaining eggs.
Assembly
- To assemble, spoon polenta into bowl, top with mushroom & leek mixture and then poached egg. Add option garnishes.
