Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 heaping cups mixed mushrooms
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup leek
  • 1 cup asparagus
  • 1 cup peas
  • 1 cup vegetable broth
  • 6 eggs
  • 3 tablespoons feta
  • Za’atar or black pepper

Equipment Needed

  • large deep skillet

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a spacious skillet, pour in half of the oil and warm it over medium heat. Once hot, incorporate the mushrooms along with ¼ teaspoon of salt. Sauté the mushrooms for 7 to 10 minutes, stirring every couple of minutes to ensure even caramelization on the edges. Once done, take them out of the skillet and set aside.

  2. 2

    In the same skillet, add the remaining oil along with leeks and another ¼ teaspoon of salt. Sauté these ingredients until they become fragrant, which should take around 3 minutes.

  3. 3

    Next, introduce the asparagus to the skillet, stirring to mix everything well. Cover the pan to allow the asparagus to steam for about 4 to 5 minutes.

  4. 4

    While the asparagus is steaming, place the peas, vegetable broth, and ¼ teaspoon of salt into a high-speed blender. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth.

  5. 5

    Return the sautéed mushrooms to the skillet and pour in the blended pea broth. Stir everything together and let the broth simmer until it reduces slightly.

  6. 6

    Create 6 small indentations in the mixture and carefully crack the eggs into these spaces, making sure to keep the yolks whole. Sprinkle the eggs with the remaining ¼ teaspoon of salt.

  7. 7

    Cover the skillet and let it cook on medium-low heat for 5 to 6 minutes, or until the egg whites have set and are no longer runny.

  8. 8

    Once finished, remove the skillet from the heat. Garnish with crumbled feta cheese and a dash of za’atar before serving.
