Method

step 1

Melt half the butter in a large frying pan over a medium heat until it foams. Add the mushrooms, turn up the heat and fry for 4-5 mins, or until just cooked and slightly golden. Remove from the heat, season and add a splash of truffle oil to taste.
step 2

Meanwhile, bring a deep pan of water to a simmer, stirring in the vinegar. Stir a whirlpool in the water and crack in the egg, cooking for 3-4 mins or until the white is firm. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain.
step 3

Toast the bread and spread with the remaining butter. Pile the mushrooms high on top and add the poached egg. If you can get fresh truffle, grate a generous amount on top.
