Egg and Mushroom Tartine

Crunchy rustic bread, sautéed mushrooms, a slice of your favourite cheese, and topped with a delicious fried egg.

Serves:

Prep Time:
15 min
Cook Time:
28 min

Ingredients

  • 1 egg
  • 2 tbsp ( 30 mL ) Canola or Olive Oil
  • ½ tsp ( 2.5 mL ) minced garlic (optional)
  • ½ lb ( 0.3 kg ) assorted mushrooms, cleaned and sliced
  • 1 cup ( 250 mL ) Spinach leaves
  • 1 slice rustic bread (e.g. French, Italian, sourdough), thickly cut
  • 1 slice Swiss cheese
  • Salt and pepper

Instructions

  1. In a medium non-stick frying pan, heat oil. Add  mushrooms, and garlic if desired. Cook until softened, 4 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. 

  2. Add spinach and a pinch each of salt and pepper; stir to combine. Cook for a minute until spinach has wilted, then push mixture to one side of the frying pan or remove mixture from the pan and keep it warm.

  3. Place bread in the toaster. While bread is toasting, crack an egg into the frying pan. Cook until the white is set and the yolk is cooked as desired. (A runny yolk makes a delicious “sauce” for this dish, but cook the yolk as you prefer.)

  4. Remove toast from the toaster and set on a plate. Place cheese on toast. Spoon mushroom and spinach mixture over cheese, then add fried egg on top. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, if desired.
