This lovely breakfast meal of poached eggs with mushrooms, spinach and basil pesto is perfect if you want to go meat free or if you are a vegetarian. It is a lovely idea if you want to do something different than the classical English Breakfast. If you like poached eggs, then I can definitely recommend Eggs Benedict with Ham. The classical one. The poached eggs with mushrooms, spinach and basil pesto could also be a lovely idea if you own a coffee shop or cook for the coffee shop.
