In order not to create illusions, I will honestly say that opinions in the family were divided on the topic of mashed potatoes. My son, husband, and I ate it with pleasure... BUT my 6-year-old daughter refused to eat at all. What to do ... Apparently this is "not her recipe."

Cauliflower puree.

Yield: 3 servings

Ingredients

Cauliflower puree

1 medium head of cauliflower, cut into florets
1 garlic clove
20 gr butter
2 tbsp. truffle oil (or good olive oil)
2 tablespoons parmesan cheese (plus more for sprinkling)

Fried mushrooms

200 gr mushrooms (I have frozen honey mushrooms)
1/2 onion
2 tbsp. olive oil (for frying the mushrooms)
2 tbsp. butter
salt and pepper to taste

Poached eggs

3 eggs
1 tbsp vinegar
strainer
saucepan

Instructions

Boiling cauliflower

Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the cauliflower florets and cook for 18-20 minutes until they are soft. Drain. In a food processor add the cooked cauliflower, garlic clove, truffle oil, parmesan cheese, butter, salt, and black pepper to taste. Beat until creamy, taste, and adjust salt and pepper if needed.

Frying the mushrooms Fry the mushrooms in a little butter and olive oil (about 12 minutes - the time depends on the mushrooms themselves). Add onion, and fry for 2-3 more minutes. Salt, pepper.

Poached eggs To make them beautiful (to my taste) - I do the following:

do not salt water for boiling eggs
add 1 tbsp. vinegar
before boiling an egg, I pour it into a strainer

Excess liquid drains and the egg is obtained without extra strips of protein. Also - an option - I like Jamie Oliver's cling film trick (when the egg is not boiled directly in water, but in cling film).

We spread the cauliflower puree on a plate, and decorate it with fried mushrooms on top, and a poached egg like a cherry pick.

You can sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and do not forget to add your favorite greens - to make the eye happy 😁 .
