Instructions
 

Step 1: Prepare the Fries

  • Peel and cut the potatoes into sticks.
  • Soak in cold water for 30 minutes, then drain and pat dry.
  • Toss with olive oil, salt, and seasoning.
  • Bake at 425°F (220°C) for 30–40 minutes or air fry at 400°F for 20–25 minutes until crisp and golden.

Step 2: Make the Mushroom Sauce

  • Heat butter and olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
  • Sauté onions for 5 minutes until soft, then add garlic for 1 minute.
  • Add mushrooms and cook until browned, about 8 minutes.
  • Stir in flour and cook for 1 minute.
  • Slowly pour in broth and stir, then add cream, thyme, salt, and pepper.
  • Simmer 5–7 minutes until thickened. Add soy sauce or wine if desired.

Step 3: Poach the Eggs

  • Bring water to a gentle simmer, add vinegar.
  • Crack each egg into a small bowl.
  • Swirl the water and slide in the eggs one at a time.
  • Cook for 3–4 minutes, then remove with a slotted spoon and drain.

Step 4: Assemble

  • Plate the hot fries.
  • Pour the mushroom sauce generously over the top.
  • Add the poached egg(s).
  • Garnish with cheese, herbs, and optional toppings.
  • Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Storage: Store components separately. Fries reheat best in an air fryer or oven.
  • Sauce: Can be refrigerated for 3 days; reheat gently with a splash of cream or broth.
  • Make It Vegan: Use plant-based cream and butter; skip the egg or use tofu scramble.
  • Add Protein: Try bacon bits, sausage, or grilled chicken for a heartier version.
  • Egg Alternatives: Use soft-boiled eggs (6–7 minutes) if you prefer them neater.
