Mushroom Soup & Eggs on Toast [Gluten Free]

Sharing is caring!

So, I’ve written and deleted the first few paragraphs of this blog entry a few times. Who knew that writing a blog entry on a very simple comfort food from my childhood would be so complicated?

Bottom line? Today’s recipe was brought on by all of the Mother’s Day ads lately, it’s a sore time of year for me, etc. To say that my family’s relationship status is “It’s Complicated” would be a gross understatement.

ANYWAY. My grandmother was awesome, and this recipe was inspired by her. She used to make mushroom soup and eggs on toast for me as a kid, and I loved it. Very simple comfort food - heat up an undiluted can of cream of mushroom soup, chop up some hard boiled eggs into it, and serve it over toast. Good stuff!

Well, now I’m an adult that’s allergic to gluten, so indulging in this weekend’s nostalgic craving took a little more effort.

Not a ton of effort, mind you... and the results were so good! This is not high cuisine, and it's not the prettiest meal ever - but it sure hits the spot. While I've designed this recipe to be gluten free, feel free to serve it on regular toast, and/or use flour instead of cornstarch if you're not Gluten free. Either way, hope you enjoy it!

PS: I have no idea if it's a regional thing, or what - but no one I know seems to have ever heard of this dish. Anyone out there have any thoughts on that?

• Place one slice of hot toast on a plate, spoon some mushroom soup mixture over it. Top with another slice of toast, and more mushroom soup. Serve immediately.

Notes

* If using gluten free bread that is super small (most of them!), you may want to allot 3 slices per serving.
