See Photo 3. Add garlic and cook for another minute just to bloom the flavor. Add a few tablespoons of lemon juice to deglaze the pan. Remove from heat. 4. Toss spinach with the balsamic vinegarette and place on a large serving platter. 5. Arrange eggs slices, and top with the sautéed mushrooms. 6. Finish the dish with some lemon zest and a grind of fresh pepper. 7. Cooks Note: I think Craisins would also be a welcome addition to this dish. Tossed with the spinach they would add a bit of color and an interesting flavor note, making this a perfect side dish for the holidays. |
