Mushroom Toasts with Eggs & Tarragon
Makes 1-2 servings; prep time 20 minutes.
Ingredients:
4 oz mixed wild or cremini mushrooms
Extra-virgin olive oil or butter for sautéing
2 slices artisan bread
3-4 cloves garlic, sliced
1 tablespoon tarragon leaves plus more to garnish
2 large eggs
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
Instructions:
Warm a cast iron pan over medium heat then drizzle with olive oil. Add the mushrooms and garlic and let sauté for 3 to 5 minutes until browned. Turn the mushrooms, then sauté for another 3 to 5 minutes. If the pan seems too dry, add a little more oil as needed.
Stir in tarragon and create two wells.
Crack in eggs and continue to cook until egg whites are set.
While the eggs are cooking, grill or toast the artisan bread until golden.
Once the eggs are cooked transfer them to the toast with mushrooms stacked around. Add freshly cracked pepper and more fresh tarragon.
