How To Make breakfast essentials: mushrooms & eggs on toast

  • Step 1
    PREP/PREPARE
  • Step 2
    Gather your Ingredients (mise en place).
  • Step 3
    Add the butter and oil to a small sauté pan over medium heat.
  • Step 4
    When the foaming subsides, add the mushrooms.
  • Step 5
    Allow them to cook until they begin to soften and brown, about 6 – 8 minutes.
  • Step 6
    Chef’s Note: While the mushrooms are cooking, season with some salt, pepper, and the optional cayenne (if using).
  • Step 7
    Use a slotted spoon and place the mushrooms on a piece of toast.
  • Step 8
    Immediately, return the sauté pan to heat, and add the egg.
  • Step 9
    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.
  • Step 10
    Cook until the white is fully set, and the yolk is still runny about 2 - 3 minutes.
  • Step 11
    Add the egg to the top of the mushrooms.
  • Step 12
    PLATE/PRESENT
  • Step 13
    Drizzle with some hollandaise sauce (if using), and maybe a bit of chopped dill. Enjoy.
  • Step 14
    Keep the faith, and keep cooking.
