It's easy to make, tastes great, and has beautiful presentation. So, you ready... Let's get into the kitchen.

Number Of Ingredients 12

PLAN/PURCHASE
1 tablespoon(s) grapeseed oil
1 tablespoon(s) sweet butter, unsalted
3 ounce(s) mushrooms, stems removed, medium sliced
- salt, kosher variety, to taste
- black pepper, freshly ground, to taste
1 large farm fresh egg
1 slice(s) toast, i like to use sourdough or something rustic
OPTIONAL ITEMS
1 pinch(es) cayenne pepper, added to the mushrooms
1 teaspoon(s) fresh dill, chopped
- hollandaise sauce

Steps:

  • PREP/PREPARE
  • Gather your Ingredients (mise en place).
  • Add the butter and oil to a small sauté pan over medium heat.
  • When the foaming subsides, add the mushrooms.
  • Allow them to cook until they begin to soften and brown, about 6 - 8 minutes.
  • Chef's Note: While the mushrooms are cooking, season with some salt, pepper, and the optional cayenne (if using).
  • Use a slotted spoon and place the mushrooms on a piece of toast.
  • Immediately, return the sauté pan to heat, and add the egg.
  • Chef's Note: There should be plenty of oil in the pan from cooking the mushrooms. Plus by using the same pan it will add a bit of flavor to the egg.
  • Cook until the white is fully set, and the yolk is still runny about 2 - 3 minutes.
  • Add the egg to the top of the mushrooms.
  • PLATE/PRESENT
  • Drizzle with some hollandaise sauce (if using), and maybe a bit of chopped dill. Enjoy.
  • Keep the faith, and keep cooking.
