Eggy bread, tomatoes, mushrooms and bacon on a white plate with a knife, fork and cup of coffee, on a linen cloth

3 eggs
beaten
4 slices white bread
(bloomer or cob work well)
25g unsalted butter
bacon, grilled tomatoes and mushrooms
to serve

Method

step 1
Whisk the eggs with a fork in a shallow bowl with some salt and pepper. Add the bread slices one at a time, submerging them in the eggs on both sides so they soak up some of the mixture.
step 2
Heat half the butter in a non-stick frying pan until foaming. Swirl the butter around the base to coat the pan, then add two pieces of bread at a time. Cook for 1-2 minutes or until golden brown and crisp. Flip the slices and cook for another 1-2 minutes on the other side. Keep the bread warm while you repeat with the remaining butter and eggy bread slices. Serve with bacon, grilled tomatoes and mushrooms.
