That was today’s breakfast menu.\u00a0 Easily done and delicious. An ex-colleague shared this recipe with me and it has only been recently that\u00a0I used it again.<\/p>\nThat was today’s breakfast menu.\u00a0 Easily done and delicious.

Ingredients<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n Fresh white button mushrooms (1 tub)<\/p>\n thick slices of bread<\/p>\n butter<\/p>\n salt<\/p>\n ground black pepper<\/p>\n Italian dried herbs<\/p>\n Method<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n 1) Clean the mushrooms off any dirt. It is okay to use tap water; it is a myth that mushrooms will absorb water.<\/p>\n 2) Slice the mushrooms.<\/p>\n 3) Heat up the frying pan with 2 tbsps of butter and lightly stir-fry the sliced mushrooms.<\/p>\n 4) The mushrooms will soften and release their\u00a0delicious smells and this is the time to add a dash of salt, pepper and Italian herbs. Liquid will start to ooze out of the mushrooms too. Stir fry for another 30 seconds or so and then transfer the mushrooms onto a plate. It is okay that the mushrooms are wet.<\/p>\n 5) Toast the bread slices using a toaster.<\/p>\n 6) Apply butter to one side of toast and distribute the mushrooms (do not\u00a0include\u00a0its fluid)\u00a0on it.\u00a0Optional: you can also add other light greens such as alfalfa or lettuce. Sandwiched with another buttered toast.<\/p>\n 7) Enjoy while the toast is still crispy. :)<\/p>\n We don’t have a toaster at home. So we used our oven set to grill mode to do the toasting. It was better as we could toast 6 slices of bread at one go. :) Yang loved it.<\/p>\n The nutritional value of this recipe is high. Instead of using ham or sausage for breakfast, the traditional protein supplement, mushrooms are also rich in protein.\u00a0Other advantages of using\u00a0mushrooms: they\u00a0are rich in fibre,\u00a0good sources of antioxidants (prevents cancer) and have almost no fats. The only thing to watch out for is the use of butter which is rich in saturated fats. You can\u00a0substitute it with olive oil for the sauting and soft margarine for the breadspread. But I feel that a little butter is fine especially when no oil can\u00a0match up to\u00a0butter for its\u00a0wonderful aroma rendered\u00a0in cooking. Eat in moderation and exercise to keep fit. Don’t forget to drink lots of water, eat\u00a0a colourful variety\u00a0fruits and vegetables and have the correct amount of sleep. Enjoy life! :D<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" That was today’s breakfast menu.\u00a0 Easily done and delicious.
