Delicious garlic mushrooms with bacon sautéed together in a pan and served over sourdough toast with a perfectly cooked poached egg. Great for breakfast or lunch, this is one of those simple dishes that always feels a little bit special.
I love mushrooms, they are a great addition to any meal, but my all time favourite is for breakfast and these sautéed garlic mushrooms with bacon are just delicious. When I can get my hands on baby king oysters, I like to use those mixed with some regular mushrooms for the ultimate flavour, but you can use any mushrooms you like. A mixture of varieties just adds even better flavour.

Ingredients Notes
To make this recipe you will need the following ingredients:
- Bread of choice: I used multigrain sourdough, which works really well with the garlic mushrooms and bacon, but any bread you like is fine here.
- Butter: Brushed onto the bread before toasting for extra flavour and a lovely golden finish.
- Mushrooms: The star of the dish. I like to chop them quite small so they cook down nicely. Using two different types of mushrooms adds even more flavour and texture.
- Shallot: Adds a mild sweetness that works really well with the mushrooms and garlic.
- Garlic: A must for that delicious savoury flavour in the mushrooms.
- Smoked streaky bacon: Adds a salty, smoky flavour that pairs perfectly with the mushrooms.
- Olive oil spray: For frying everything off without needing lots of oil.
- Egg: A poached egg on top finishes this off perfectly and adds a lovely rich, silky yolk.
- Salt and black pepper: Important for seasoning and bringing all the flavours together.
Once you've gathered all the ingredients and prepared them accordingly, you're all set to create this easy and delightful recipe.
See the recipe card for specific quantities and instructions.
Variations and Subsitutes
For a creamy version, just stir a spoonful of light cream cheese into the mushrooms once cooked and let it melt through. It's also really delicious with some sliced avocado or a little guacamole under the mushrooms and bacon on the toast.
A small sprinkle of finely grated parmesan on top is a great addition too for an extra savoury finish and a drizzle of hot honey for a spicy sweet heat. You can also swap the shallot for a little finely diced onion, use any bread you like, and mix up the mushrooms depending on what you can get, as a mixture of varieties will always add the best flavour. You can also swap the poached egg for fried or scrambled or skip the egg all together, but I love how the soft yolk creates a sauce over the bacon.
Tips for the Perfect Poached Egg
Most people can feel a bit overwhelmed trying to cook a poached egg, but I find my method really easy and always results in a perfectly cooked poached egg.
- Just Bring a saucepan of water to a rapid boil, then turn down heat a littler so that the water is no longer vigorously boiling.
- Stir the water to create a vortex
- Crack an egg into a shallow bowl and lower it gently into middle of the vortex in the water.
- Leave for approx 3 mins and then remove with a slotted spoon onto kitchen pan. I prefer to do this to remove any excess water.
Some methods add vinegar to the water, but if your eggs are fresh it's really not needed.
If you still can't master it with this method then try my Cheats Poached Egg Method or if you prefer this is equally delicious topped with a sliced boiled egg or a fried egg.
