Details
- ⏲️ Prep time: 20 minutes
- 🍳 Cook time: 20 minutes
Ingredients
- 6 eggs
- 1 Tbsp of salt
- 6 oz / 200 g of button mushrooms
- 2 Tbsp of vegetable oil
- 2 Tbsp of prepared horseradish
- 1 egg yolk
- 2 Tbsp of chopped, fresh parsley
- 1/8 tsp of salt
- Pinch of pepper to taste
- 4 Tbsp of butter
- 1/3 c of bread crumbs
Directions
- Place eggs in a pot and cover with cold water. Boil for 7 minutes (from the time the water starts boiling). Drain and fill pot with cold water for the eggs to cool.
- In the meantime, wash mushrooms, cut into quarters and place in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse to chop into small bits.
- In a medium frying pan, heat vegetable oil. Add mushrooms, salt and pepper to taste, and sauté until all water cooks off and mushrooms brown a bit. Set aside to cool.
- Once eggs cool, with a sharp knife, cut eggs (unpeeled) in half. Gently scoop out the egg whites and egg yolks and place in a bowl. Reserve egg shells.
- To eggs, add cooled-off mushrooms, horseradish, egg yolk, parsley, and another pinch of salt and pepper. Mix, taste and add a bit more spice, if needed.
- Fill egg shells with prepared mixture evenly.
- Place bread crumbs in a separate bowl. In a large frying pan, heat butter.
- Place each egg in the breadcrumbs up-side-down to coat the filling. Then place each egg in the pan to brown. Sauté until golden brown (about 5-8 minutes). Serve warm or cold.
