Hunter's Eggs
Total time: 25 minutes
This is a variation on a Basque dish of peppers and tomatoes. It's a simple dish, with just a few ingredients but bursting with flavors. The name comes from two types of hunters in our fields this time of year: mushroom and wild boar.
Ingredients:
- 3oz (90gr) mushrooms
- 1 onion
- 2oz (60gr) bacon 2 - 4 slices
- 2 tsp olive oil
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp paprika, (smoked is nice)
- pepper
Instructions:
- Clean mushrooms and slice thickly.
- Roughly chop onion.
- Cut bacon, crossways, into strips.
- In nonstick skillet, sauté bacon until crisp. Remove and set aside.
- Add 1 tsp oil and onion to skillet. Cook, over medium heat, until onions just start to brown, 7 - 10 minutes.
- Add mushrooms and continue to sauté until mushrooms start to brown, 5 - 7 minutes longer.
- Return bacon to skillet and keep warm while cooking eggs.
- In separate nonstick skillet heat 1 tsp olive oil. When hot add eggs and fry, trying to keep a nice shape, just until the whites are set; they're meant to be 'sunny-side up'.
- Divide bacon/mushroom mix between two plates.
- Put an egg on top of each, sprinkle with paprika, pepper and serve.
