This is a divine Sunday breakfast or brunch dish, flavoursome and filling without being heavy. The taste of the soy adds a subtle umami savoury tang to the dish
1 tbsp groundnut oil
300g chestnut mushrooms, sliced
2 tsp light soy sauce
1 tsp dark soy sauce
2 tbsp crème fraiche
2 large slices of sourdough bread
Small knob of butter
1 egg, lightly beaten
Black sesame seeds (use white if you can’t get hold of these)
Salt and pepper
Heat the oil in a large frying pan and cook the mushrooms until they’ve released their juices and turned golden – about 2-3 minutes. Add the soy sauces, and let it bubble for a few seconds, then spoon in the crème fraiche and a good grind of pepper. Take the pan off the heat once the crème fraiche has melted and keep warm
Toast the sourdough bread and set aside
Meanwhile, in a small milk pan, melt the butter. Season the egg and add to the pan and cook slowly until the top side has set- about 2 minutes. You are only cooking the base of the omelette, so it should not be too runny. Slide it onto a chopping board and cut into ribbons.
Put the toast on plates, cover with mushrooms and sauce, roll up the egg ribbons and place on top. Sprinkle liberally with sesame seeds and serve
