Method

Microwave 125g sliced chestnut mushrooms, covered**, for 2 mins on high, then stir in 10g unsalted butter, 1 tsp soy sauce and 50g baby spinach and cook for a further 2 mins.
Crack 1 medium egg into a microwaveable mug with 5 tbsp water. Prick the yolk, cover and microwave on high for 1 min for a soft yolk.
Arrange the mushrooms and spinach on a slice of toasted sourdough and top with the egg to serve
It’s very important to prick the egg yolk before poaching, or the yolk may explode!
Make sure the mug’s not too thick-sided, or the egg will take longer to cook.
If you like your eggs more well-done, continue to cook for 20 secs./li>
