Description

Simple elegance on a plate. Sautéed girolles, a fried egg, and fresh herbs create a quick, flavorful side dish.


Ingredients

Scale
  • A knob of butter or a glug of olive oil
  • 2 large handfuls fresh cleaned girolle mushrooms
  • 1 clove garlic
  • A squeeze of lemon juice
  • A handful of chopped flat-leaf parsley
  • 1 Burford Brown egg
  • Salt and pepper

Instructions

  1. Add butter or olive oil to a small frying pan and heat.
  2. Add cleaned girolles and seasoning; sauté for 5 minutes until glossy and fragrant.
  3. Add chopped garlic and sauté for a few more minutes.
  4. Make a small hollow in the center of the mushrooms; crack in an egg, season with pepper and sea salt.
  5. Cover and cook until the egg white is firm but the yolk is runny.
  6. Squeeze lemon juice over the mushrooms and sprinkle with parsley.
  7. Serve immediately with crusty bread (optional).

Notes

  • For deeper mushroom flavor, sauté the girolles over medium-low heat for a longer period, allowing them to release their moisture.
  • If Burford Brown eggs are unavailable, any free-range egg will work; adjust cooking time as needed for different egg sizes.
  • Store leftover mushrooms (without the egg) in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days; reheat gently before serving.
