Method

1
Start by making your mushroom butter. Preheat your oven to 150c. Add the dried cepes to a tray and cook for 15 minutes before removing and placing in a blender with the onion and garlic powder. Blend to a fine powder and add to a bowl with the softened butter. Mix this before seasoning with a touch of salt and add the tarragon. Stir together then set aside
2
To cook the mushrooms, place a non- stick pan over a high heat and add the oil. Add the mushrooms and begin tossing over the high heat until they begin to wilt. Add the butter and continue cooking over a high heat until it browns and colours. At this point add some sea salt and pepper and cook until the water has evaporated. Set aside
3
For the eggs, place them into a pot of cold water. Bring this to the boil and cook for 5 minutes. Remove from the hot water and run under the cold tap for a minute to release the shell. Peel the eggs and slice in half.
4
To plate up, toast the sourdough and spread the mushroom butter on top. Top with the cooked mushrooms and the soft boiled egg and serve warm.
