- Frying pan
Ingredients
- 3 large eggs
- 1/3 cup soy milk or milk of choice
- sea salt flakes and cracked black pepper to taste
- 4 slices bread gluten free or your choice of bread
Miso butter mushrooms
- drizzle extra virgin olive oil
- 250 grams Swiss brown mushrooms
- 25 grams salted butter
- 1 tablespoon white miso paste
To serve

Instructions
- Add the eggs, milk, salt and pepper to a medium, shallow bowl. Whisk to combine.
- Bring a medium saucepan to a medium heat. Add a drizzle of olive oil and then the sliced mushrooms. Push the mushrooms over to one side of the pan. Add the butter and miso paste to the base of the pan and stir to dissolve the miso paste in the butter. Stir the melted butter and miso paste through the mushrooms. Add 30mL of water and stir through the mushrooms, butter and miso to create a gravy. Simmer until the mushrooms are soft and tender. Turn off the heat and place the lid on to keep warm.
- Place a frying pan on a medium heat and add a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. Place a slice of bread into the egg mixture and push down to submerge. Once soaked, transfer the eggy bread to the frying pan. Fry up to two slices of toast at a time, if your pan is large enough. Fry the French toast on each side until golden brown. Transfer to a plate lined with a clean tea towel and cover to keep warm. Repeat this step with the remaining 3 slices of bread.
- To serve, place two warm slices of French toast onto a plate and top with spoonfuls of the miso butter mushrooms, chopped chives and cracked black pepper to taste.
