Polenta with spinach and soft-poached egg (Slideshow version)

Polenta with spinach and soft-poached egg : Photo of step #26

Stage 15/15 : 2 min.

Pour the shallot sauce over and serve immediately.

For a little dramatic effect, like in the photo, you can split the egg to let some yolk run out just before serving.

Remarks

The tricky part of this recipe is the timing: getting everything ready at the same time so that the different elements (egg, spinach, polenta, sauce) are hot when assembled.

If you prefer a smoother sauce, you can strain it to remove the bits of shallots before adding the cream.
