Mushroom & Watercress French Toast

Serves 1 

Prep Time: 10 mins

Cook Time: 10 mins

 Ingredients:

-       2 Slices thick crusty bread

-       1 egg

-       100g mushrooms, halved

-       1 clove garlic, minced (optional)

-       80g Watercress, chopped

-       50g grated Swiss cheese

-       Butter

 Method:

1. In a bowl, beat the egg and add a little salt & pepper. Dip the bread in, covering both sides.

2. Heat some butter in a frying pan over a medium heat and fry the eggy bread for a couple of minutes, flip it and sprinkle the grated cheese on the side that is cooked so it melts.

3. Meanwhile, heat a knob butter in a pan over a medium heat (add garlic if using), cook the mushrooms. Add the watercress as the mushrooms start to brown and cook for no longer than a minute, so that the watercress has just wilted.

4. Serve the mushrooms and watercress on top of the cooked bread with lots of black pepper.
