Ingredients
- 25g/1oz unsalted butter
- 3 large chestnut mushrooms, peeled and sliced
- 1 large leek, trimmed, halved and cut into 2.5cm/1in slices
- pinch dried chilli flakes (optional)
- 1 tsp vegetable oil
- 1 large free-range egg
- 1 slice bread, toasted
- sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
Method
Heat the butter in a large frying pan over a medium heat. Add the mushrooms and leeks and season with a generous amount of salt and pepper. Cook for 6–8 minutes, stirring occasionally until the mushrooms have softened and started to caramelise and the leeks are completely soft. Add a pinch of dried chilli flakes if you would like to add a little heat.
Meanwhile, heat the oil in another non-stick frying pan over a medium heat. Crack in the egg and fry until the white has just set.
Spoon the mushroom and leek mixture over the toast. Top with the fried egg and another grind of black pepper and serve immediately.
