Main Ingredients- 1 slice of bread
- 1 egg
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Begin by taking out one slice of bread from the freezer and a piece of beef jerky. This recipe is a great way to revive slightly stale bread and add a unique savory depth with the jerky.
Step 2
Finely mince the beef jerky. Trim the tough ends of the King Oyster Mushrooms and either tear them into bite-sized pieces or slice them. Deseed the bell pepper and chop it into similar-sized pieces. Prepping your ingredients like this will make the cooking process much smoother.
Step 3
Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a small pan over low heat. Add 1.5 tablespoons of minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, being careful not to burn it. Once the garlic turns a light golden color, stir in 1 tablespoon of sugar, 2 tablespoons of corn syrup, and a pinch of parsley flakes. Mix well to create a special garlic sauce. This sauce balances sweetness and aroma, significantly enhancing the toast’s flavor.
Step 4
If you prefer the pungent and bold flavor of fresh minced garlic, feel free to skip the sautéing step. Simply mix the raw minced garlic with the other sauce ingredients. Adjust the recipe to suit your taste!
Step 5
Using a round cookie cutter or the rim of a glass, press down firmly on the center of the bread slice to create a circular hole, leaving the crust intact. This technique ensures a neat presentation when the egg is added.
Step 6
Spread the prepared garlic sauce evenly over the bread crust and around the cut-out hole using a spoon or pastry brush. The sauce will soak into the bread, adding wonderful flavor.
Step 7
Carefully crack one fresh egg into the hole in the center of the bread, making sure not to break the yolk. Arrange the minced beef jerky around the egg white in an appealing manner. Place the toast in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) and bake for about 7-8 minutes, or just until the egg white is set. Cooking time may vary depending on your oven.
Step 8
While the toast is baking, lightly oil a frying pan and sauté the shredded King Oyster Mushrooms and chopped bell pepper. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper, and cook until the mushrooms and peppers are tender. These sautéed vegetables will add texture and richness to your toast. Once the toast is ready, top it with the sautéed vegetables. For an extra touch, drizzle with balsamic glaze or mayonnaise if desired. Your elegant brunch is complete!
