About £0.57 a plate if you bought it all. Less with what you've already got.

You'll need
- Mushrooms300g
- Thyme5g
- Garlic1 clove
- Butter30g
- Bread4 slices
- Eggs4
Salt, pepper and oil from the cupboard. Amounts are for four; the app scales them for you.
Method
- Slice the mushrooms (300g). Fry in a hot pan with a little oil until they've given off their water and gone golden (6 min).
- Add the butter (30g), thyme leaves (5g) and sliced garlic (1 clove) and cook for one more minute.
Kitchen note Garlic burns in seconds and goes bitter, so add it after the onions have softened and keep it moving for about a minute.
- Poach the eggs (4) (3 min) while you toast the bread (4 slices).
Kitchen note For poached eggs, use the freshest eggs you've got and a gentle simmer, not a rolling boil. Crack each into a cup first so you can slide it in calmly.
- Pile the mushrooms on the toast and sit an egg on top.
Kitchen note Toast the bread properly, golden, not pale. It holds up better under anything wet.
Can't find something? Doesn't matter. Swap it for something similar, it'll still be delish.
