Perfect as a brunch dish. For great flavour try and use the freshest best eggs you can find. Enjoy all the different flavours from the mushrooms with the sweetness of the brioche.
Method
-
Melt the butter in a pan. Add sliced brioche and colour on each side for approximately 1 minute. Remove and keep warm.
-
Add white wine vinegar to the water and boil stir water to create a whirlpool effect.
-
Crack eggs into separate cups. Pour from the cups into the water and poach for 3 minutes. Remove using a slotted spoon.
-
Add 55g/2oz butter to a hot saucepan and sauté the shallots or onions and garlic.
-
Now add the cleaned mushrooms and cook over a moderate heat, season and drain (mushrooms contain a lot of water).
