Serves 2
Ingredients:
– 1 tbsp vegetable oil
– 300g mushrooms, cut to similar sizes
– 15g butter
– 1 sprig of tarragon, leaves chopped, plus extra to serve
– Splash of sherry vinegar
– 1 tbsp cream cheese or mascarpone
– 4 eggs
– Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
Method:

2. Put a medium-large frying pan over high heat. Add the oil and when hot fry the mushrooms until they are golden. Season with salt and black pepper.
3. Add the butter and toss the mushrooms around in the pan for a few moments, then stir through the tarragon, vinegar and cheese.
