Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup pearled farro, uncooked
  • 3 cup low-sodium vegetable broth
  • 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil divided
  • 10 oz cremini mushrooms, sliced
  • 0.5 cup finely chopped shallot
  • 2 tsp minced garlic
  • 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 3 cup baby spinach loosely packed
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce or tamari
  • 2 tsp fresh lemon juice
  • 0.33 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese plus more for serving
  • 0.25 tsp red pepper flakes
  • 0.75 tsp kosher salt divided
  • 0.5 tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • 0.25 cup thinly sliced scallions for garnish
  • 4 large eggs

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Rinse the farro, then simmer it in the broth until tender, 25–30 minutes; drain any excess and cover to steam.
  • Heat 1½ tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Sear mushrooms until browned, 6–8 minutes, seasoning with a pinch of salt.
  • Stir in butter, shallot, garlic, and thyme. Cook until fragrant and softened, about 2–3 minutes.
  • Deglaze with soy sauce, then fold in spinach to wilt. Finish with lemon juice and a few grinds of pepper.
  • In a nonstick pan, warm the remaining oil. Fry the eggs to your liking; leave yolks runny if desired.
  • Add cooked farro to the mushroom skillet. Toss with Parmesan, red pepper flakes, remaining salt, and more pepper to taste.
  • Spoon farro into bowls. Top each with an egg, extra Parmesan, and scallions. Serve hot.

Notes

Variation: Swap farro with barley or quinoa; add crispy prosciutto or roasted carrots for more texture. Storage tip: Refrigerate the farro-mushroom base up to 4 days; reheat with a splash of broth and cook eggs fresh before serving.
