What it is
A simple yet elegant dish featuring perfectly poached eggs served atop a savory mixture of sautéed wild or cultivated mushrooms and finely diced Serrano or Ibérico ham. Cooked in olive oil with a touch of garlic and parsley, this dish is naturally low in carbohydrates and rich in flavor and nutrients.
Key ingredients
Eggs (large), assorted mushrooms (e.g., button, oyster, shiitake), Serrano ham or Ibérico ham (diced), extra virgin olive oil, garlic, fresh parsley, sea salt, black pepper.
Optional tweaks
Ensure no cream sauces with thickeners are used. Crucially, request no bread or toast served alongside the eggs. The dish is complete and satisfying without any starchy accompaniments.
Watch out for
Thickened sauces (e.g., béchamel, cream sauces with flour). Bread or toast served on the side. Some pre-made diced ham can contain small amounts of sugar in curing, but generally negligible.
