Steps:
- Make the chile oil: Combine the chopped chiles, olive oil and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a small saucepan over low heat and cook 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool completely. Transfer to a bowl, cover and refrigerate up to 1 week. (You will have about 1 1/4 cups chile oil.)
- Cook the polenta: Bring 3 cups cold water, the milk, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper to a boil in a medium saucepan over high heat. Gradually whisk in the polenta; whisk constantly until the mixture is smooth and begins to thicken, about 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium low and simmer, stirring often, until tender and thickened but still creamy, about 30 minutes. Add more hot water as needed if the mixture seems too dry. Stir in the butter and cheese.
- Meanwhile, make the braised greens: Heat the olive oil in a large high-sided saute pan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until softened, 4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly golden brown, about 2 minutes. Add the greens, season with salt and pepper and toss. Reduce the heat to medium, stir in 1 cup water, cover and cook until wilted and soft, about 20 minutes. Remove the lid during the last 5 minutes to cook off any additional liquid. Stir in the red wine vinegar just before serving.
- Poach the eggs: Heat 3 cups water with the white vinegar until simmering in a large high-sided frying pan. Break each egg into a cup, then gently add to the water. Poach until the yolks are nearly set, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove the eggs from the pan with a slotted spoon to drain the liquid and place on a plate. Season with salt and pepper.
- To serve, spoon some of the polenta into bowls, top with some of the greens and a poached egg per bowl. Drizzle with the chile oil and garnish with the chopped parsley.

Set aside on a plate while you poach the remaining egg.
- Cook the polenta following pack instructions, then mix in the parmesan, oil, parsley and some seasoning. Spoon the polenta onto plates and top with the chorizo, chard and a poached egg.

POACHED QUAIL EGGS ON POLENTA
This is my healthy interpretation of ''bacon and eggs''. The high-fat nature of this dish made me consider alternatives for brunch fare. To make the dish, I pan-fried rounds of polenta, then stacked layers (and colors) of sautéed beech mushrooms, poached quail eggs, dill pesto and crispy vegetarian bacon. If the idea of a high calorie meal doesn't bother you, you can replicate the same recipe with real bacon, chicken eggs and increase the amount of cheese in the pesto. And don't worry, I'm not judging!

Steps:
- For the pesto: In a mortar and pestle (or a blender), combine the herbs, pine nuts, nutritional yeast, Parmesan cheese and salt. Grind into a paste. Add 6 tablespoons olive oil and pepper. Mix until well distributed. Set aside.
- For the poached eggs: Fill a saucepan with water and add vinegar. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat to a gentle simmer. Break each egg into a small bowl and delicately pour one quail egg at a time into the water. Using chopsticks, create a little swirl over the egg white. Poach for 2-3 minutes. Remove the eggs from the pan with a slotted spoon to drain the liquid onto paper towels. Let sit for 2-3 minutes.
- For the polenta: Cut the polenta into ½-inch thick slices. Brush them with olive oil. Season with salt. Set aside.
- Assembly time: In a large non-stick pan, heat 2 tablespoons oil. Pan-fry the polenta rounds until lightly golden on both sides. Transfer to serving plates. In the same pan, add the bacon slices and cook until lightly golden, and transfer to a platter. Add garlic to the pan, cook until slightly golden and add the beech mushrooms. Toss frequently and cook for about 3 minutes over high heat. Season with salt and pepper.
- Cut the poached eggs in half, making sure the egg yolk is slightly runny and cut the bacon pieces into shreds.
- Top each polenta round with sautéed beech mushrooms, cover with 3 poached quail eggs per person and drizzle with dill pesto. Add more beech mushrooms around the polenta round.
- Serve warm.
- Bon appétit!

- Decrease heat to very low to maintain the water at a bare simmer.
- Place a bowl of hot tap water near the stove.
- Crack an egg into a ramekin.
- With the ramekin close to the simmering water, pour the egg into the water.
- Using a large metal slotted spoon, quickly spoon the egg white back onto the remainder of the egg.
- Cook very gently until the egg white is opaque and the egg is just firm enough to hold its shape, 3-4 minutes.
- Using the slotted spoon, carefully transfer the poached egg to the bowl of hot tap water, trimming off any stray strands of egg white.
- Repeat with the remaining eggs (with practice, you should be able to poach 3-4 eggs at the same time, but keep track of the eggs so they don't overcook).
- The hot water will keep the eggs at serving temperature for up to 10 minutes.
- Asparagus-Ham Saute--melt the butter in a large skillet over med-high heat.
- Add the ham and cook until lightly browned, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the shallots and cook until softened, about 1 minute.
- Stir in the asparagus, then add the sherry and 2 tablespoons water.
- Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until the asparagus is crisp-tender, about 5 minutes.
- During the last minute, add the heavy cream.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Remove from the heat and cover to keep warm.
- Meanwhile, make the polenta--bring the milk, 2 cups water, and the salt to a boil in a medium saucepan over high heat.
- Whisk in the polenta.
- Decrease heat to med-low and let bubble, whisking often, until smooth and thick, about 2 minutes.
- Remove from the heat and stir in the Parmesan until melted.
- Using a large spoon, spoon equal amounts of the polenta into warm serving bowls, making an indentation in the center of each mound of polenta.
- Spoon the asparagus-ham saute around the indentation.
- One at a time, remove a poached egg from the water with a slotted spoon, drain well, and nestle in the indentation in the polenta.
- Sprinkle with chives and serve hot.

POLENTA AND POACHED EGGS WITH SPINACH AND MUSHROOMS
In an effort to remove most processed white stuff - flour and sugar - from my diet, have recently begun to experiment more with grains. One Sunday I was in the mood for something decadent like Eggs Benedict or Eggs Florentine and came up with this. Thought it was good enough for sharing. The recipe requires a bit of work so for convenience, one could make this with either store bought or left over polenta wedges. Country Lady has great instructions for making poached eggs (#79662) if you need more detail. This would work well for those in the later phases of the South Beach Diet.

Steps:
- Bring 1 cup of water to boil and 1/8 teaspoon of salt to boil in a small sauce pan.
- Stir 1/4 cup of cold water into the cornmeal so that it will form a paste; this helps prevent lumps in the polenta.
- Whisk the cornmeal into the boiling water and reduce heat to a low simmer.
- Add basil and continue to stir cornmeal occasionally for 15 minutes; if the polenta gets too thick, add more water.
- In another pan, simmer 4 cups of water and white vinegar for poaching eggs.
- Once the water reaches a simmer, carefully break eggs into water on at a time, spooning water in the eggs to help them form and retain their shape.
- Depending on how you like your yolks, cook 3 to 5 minutes.
- In a separate pan, begin to saute the onions and garlic in the olive oil for about 2 minutes.
- Add the mushrooms and continue to cook another 2 minutes.
- Wring the excess water from the thawed spinach and add to the onions, garlic and mushrooms.
- Cook and additional 4-5 minutes.
- Add spaghetti sauce and balsamic vinegar until sauce is heated through.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- To assemble the dish, spoon the polenta onto 2 serving plates, top with the spinach mushroom sauce, and 2 eggs.
- Garnish with Parmesan cheese.
- Enjoy!

Steps:
- Lightly butter a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Set aside. In a large saucepan, combine milk, water, and salt. Bring to a boil and slowly sprinkle in cornmeal, whisking constantly to break up lumps. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, for 15 minutes.
- Stir in butter, cheese, and pepper to taste. Pour into prepared dish, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate until firm (polenta can be refrigerated for up to 2 days).
- In a nonstick frying pan over medium heat, melt a small amount of butter. Using a 3-inch round cookie cutter or a large glass, cut out 10 circles of polenta. Cook until brown on both sides, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a baking sheet and keep warm in oven on lowest setting.
- In a large saucepan, bring about 3 inches of lightly salted water to a boil, then turn down to a bare simmer. One at a time, carefully crack eggs into a small shallow bowl, then gently slide into water. Poach two or three at a time for 3 to 5 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain well. Continue until all eggs are poached.
- On serving plates, top each polenta round with a poached egg; spoon a little Herb Beurre Blanc on top, sprinkle with chopped chives, and serve immediately.
