INGREDIENTS

SERVES 1

125g mixed mushrooms
1 slice sour dough
2 eggs
Few drops truffle oil

  3. Slice, and toast the sour dough bread
  4. Place the mushrooms on the toast, topped with the poached eggs, season the top of the eggs
  5. Dress the watercress in olive oil and season. Serve with the toast and drizzle over the truffle oil
