Mixed Mushroom Toasts with Egg on Top are a hearty and satisfying weekend breakfast.
Inspiration for our recipes at superman cooks comes from many sources. These Mushrooms Toasts with Egg on Top were definitely inspired by a meal Jackie just couldn’t forget (and wouldn’t let me forget it either). She had a “bee in her bonnet” again. Jackie’s favorite meal is brunch. Brunch in the city is a popular ritual on the weekends, and it is very different from most brunches served in the suburbs. Most New York restaurants serve simple (yet overpriced in my opinion) egg dishes, but we enjoy them anyway and like to use this time to connect with friends.
Jackie spent a weekend upstate with one of her girlfriends last fall, and for breakfast she served Jackie a mushroom toast. This was many months ago, but it has stuck in Jackie’s head. Since that weekend, she has been ordering a variety of toasts every time we go out for brunch. Now I love to make my girl happy, especially by cooking for her, and she has been asking me to make mushroom toasts for quite some time now.
Yes, it took me a while, but I finally fulfilled my girl’s wish, and I have to admit I am glad that I did. I am the type that likes a more hearty meal for brunch, one that includes potatoes. But the mushroom mixture is hearty and satisfying, and proved to be a healthy option. I am now glad that the infamous bee landed in Jackie’s bonnet.
