Poached Eggs, Mushroom+ Toast

Ingredients

• 1 tsp unsalted butter

• 5 mushrooms, sliced

• Black pepper, to taste

• 2 eggs

• 1 slice wholemeal bread

• Pinch of chilli flakes or fresh herbs (optional)

Instructions

1. Heat a small pan over medium heat and add half the butter. Sauté the sliced mushrooms for 5–6 minutes until soft and golden. Season with black pepper.

2. Meanwhile, bring a saucepan of water to a gentle simmer. Crack each egg into a small cup, then gently slide them into the water. Poach for 2½–3 minutes, or until the whites are set but the yolks remain soft (or cook to your preference).

3. Toast the bread and spread with the remaining butter.

4. Top the toast with the sautéed mushrooms and carefully place the poached eggs on top.

5. Finish with a sprinkle of black pepper and a pinch of chilli flakes or fresh herbs, if using.
