For the pickled vegetables, place vegetables into a jar with a tight fitting lid. In a small saucepan, heat the vinegar, garlic, smoked paprika, honey, and a pinch of salt. Once the mixture is simmering and the honey has melted, pour into the jar containing the vegetables. Allow to cool to room temperature, secure tightly with lid, and place in the fridge for at least 3 hours or up to one week.
For the porridge, bring 3 cups of water to a simmer in a small pot. Add cornmeal slowly while whisking constantly. Reduce heat to low and cover. Simmer for 35-40 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes. If the mixture begins to stick to the bottom of the pan, add a little more water. Once cooked, add the manchego and stir thoroughly until the cheese has melted. Season with salt to taste.
While porridge is cooking, sauté mushrooms in a pan with olive oil until tender.
For assembly, spoon porridge evenly into 4 bowls. Arrange several mushrooms in each bowl, followed by a spoonful of pickled vegetables and 2 halves of soft boiled egg. Drizzle liberally with olive oil and top with fresh herbs or micro greens.
