Portabello Benedict |
|
For the perfect Sunday brunch, whip up this easier-than-it-looks Portabello Benedict. Layers of white wine-marinated mushrooms, sautéed spinach, and tomato slices are smothered in a vegan Hollandaise sauce that's just as good as any dairy version. Thanks to Chef Sally Owens for sharing Stanford Inn's signature breakfast with VN readers. |
