Method
- Heat the oil in a medium pan, add the shallots and garlic and cook for 2-3 mins or until soft. Add the mushrooms and cook for a further 3 mins or until the juices have come out of the mushrooms.
- Increase the heat, add the wine (or water) and cook over a high heat until the liquid has evaporated. Season well, then stir in the crème frâiche. Gently reheat until hot and set aside.
- Meanwhile, bring a large frying pan of salted water to the boil. Add the vinegar. Carefully crack the each of the eggs into a saucer, then tip gently into the simmering water. Cook for 3-4 mins or until the eggs are cooked to your liking. Lift from the water with a slotted spoon.
- Lightly toast the bread, then top with the mushroom mixture. Place a poached egg on top and serve garnished with snipped fresh chives.
