Ingredients

Instructions

  • In a medium pot over medium heat add the polenta, low fat cream cheese, milk, vegetable broth, nutritional yeast, thyme sprigs and ½ tsp salt. Mix to incorporate the cream cheese into the liquid and cook until it begins to boil.
  • Turn heat to medium-low and cook until tender, about 10 minutes, stirring once in a while to avoid sticking at the bottom of the pan. Cook until the polenta is tender, creamy but consistent (not liquidy).
  • Meanwhile, cook the egg in boiling water for 6 minutes and 30 seconds for a very jammy egg or 7 minutes for a slightly firmer egg.
  • Meanwhile, slice mushrooms and reserve. Chop as finely as you can the sun dried tomatoes (almost like a paste) and the basil leaves.
  • Place tomatoes and basil in a small bowl with water and a ¼ tsp of salt and mix. Reserve until needed.
  • Heat a large cast iron pan over high heat. Add olive oil and sliced mushrooms and cook until reduced and golden brown. Then add the vinegar, ½ tsp of salt and black pepper per taste. Mix and cook until the spinach wilts down but it still has a bright color.
  • Add black pepper per taste to the polenta. Fish out the thyme sprigs.
  • Serve polenta topped with spinach, mushrooms and jammy egg. Finish with the basil and tomato topping.
