Delicious in Dungeon #49: Crispy Mushroom And Egg Sandwich

As you can see, this is a horse-like creature with two horns. It's quite obvious really, but I thought I would just say.

So the bicorn, a kind of bisexual unicorn, their thing is that they only go for badboys and badgirls. And non-badnerys. So we have to lure it over by enjoying a sinful and decadent sandwich.

Got a big round loaf of fresh bread, butter, cockatrice eggs, mandrake leaves, and some dried changeling mushrooms. Doesn't sound all that badnasty. Oh and syrup? Ok maybe a little.

Since we have the butter out, lets cook the egg in butter.

Yeah got my little tiny pan. We wanna have the whites cooked but the yolk slightly runny.

I'm gonna lightly toast the bread, seems right to do that for a sandwich with fried egg and extra butter.

Even on hot toast my butter doesnt spread that well.. anyway we're also adding salt and pepper.

Then the mandrake leaves, which i decided today can be watercress and rocket. And the fried egg, which ive shaved a bit off to fit on the decidedly not-round bread. I tried my best to squish it into a rounder shape!

Now these are interesting. I was originally gonna try and grill/fry some mushrooms to death, but I was gifted this bag of already dried mushrooms! Unlike mushrooms dried for stock, these seem to be freeze-dried or something so they're light and airy. Seems perfect!

And lastly, as mentioned in the manga... they add a bit of syrup on the sandwich as well. I'm just adding a light drizzle, because it sounds a bit intense.

****

Really tasty! Nicely balanced, savoury with a burst of sweetness, with wet and crispy textures. A good rich sandwich, and none of the unusual ingredients were bad. But I have to ask myself... would I go out of my way to make this again? Probably not. I think the bar for sandwiches is very high, you can make a lot of good things with bread and butter and eggs.
