Ingredients

  • 2 generously sized portobello mushrooms
  • Salt and pepper
  • Olive oil
  • 2 thick rounds of soft goat cheese
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon of white vinegar (for poaching)
  • 1 sprig of fresh tarragon, chopped

Method

  • Preheat the broiler.
  • Wash the mushrooms and remove the stems, season with salt and pepper and give them a glug of olive oil: a spoonful should do.
  • Crumble the goat cheese.
  • Pop the mushrooms stem side up under the broiler for about 5 minutes.
  • While they are searing away, poach the eggs in a pan of gently boiling water.
  • A teaspoon of white vinegar should stop them from separating.
  • You can do one of two things with the goat cheese: you can add it on top of the mushrooms when you put them under the broiler, so it browns: or you can put it on just after they come out.
  • You should poach the eggs for about 3 minutes if you want them soft in the middle (5 if you want them stern and unyielding).
  • Drain them, put them on top of your crumbly goats cheese mushroom mix.
  • Scatter some chopped tarragon on the top, grind on a bit of pepper and voila!
