Method
1. In a bowl, beat the egg and add a little salt and freshly ground black pepper. Dip in the slices of bread, covering both sides in the mix.
2. Heat some butter in a frying pan over a medium heat and fry the eggy bread for a couple of minutes, flip it and sprinkle the grated cheese over the side that is cooked so it melts.
3. Meanwhile, heat a knob of butter in a clean pan over a medium heat and add the garlic, if using, and the mushrooms. Add the watercress as the mushrooms start to brown and cook for no longer than a minute, so the watercress has just wilted.
4. Serve the mushrooms and watercress heaped on top of the cheesy toast and finish with a generous grating of black pepper.
