Poached Eggs on Artichoke Bottoms with White Truffle Cream and MushroomsRita Maas

Artichokes and truffle cream make these poached eggs an elegant brunch dish. If you use porcini (cèpes in French), leave the stems attached but trim the side and bottom of each stem well.

Cooks' notes:

· Serving eggs with runny — not fully cooked — yolks may be of concern if there is a problem with salmonella in your area. Look for pasteurized eggs in the shell.
· Artichoke bottoms and stems may be cooked 1 day ahead. Pour off half of cooking water and replace with cold water (to stop artichokes from cooking further), then chill artichokes in same water, uncovered. Reheat in water before serving.
