Creamy mushroom toast with egg and shredded chicken.
I’m completely obsessed with mushrooms on my toast. It doesn’t take any effort, it’s easy to make and delicious. There’s no exact recipe, I generally just bake some mushrooms and put them on top of a crispy toast, sometimes I add a fried egg. But this recipe takes this simple idea one step further by throwing in some creamy mushrooms, shredded chicken, Tartiflette cheese and an egg, then broil everything quickly in the oven. What an upgrade!
And such an easy way to repurpose your leftover chicken into an entirely different meal. So anytime you find yourself with leftover chicken, consider it a blessing. Highly recommended for brunch, lunch or a quick dinner. Just add a big side salad and enjoy!
No Tartiflette cheese? Just use mozzarella, Camembert, Gruyere,…
