  1. Heat the oven to 220°C (200°C fan). Grease a small, shallow ovenproof dish with the butter.

  2. Add the smoked salmon, ham or sautéed mushrooms to the dish, then scatter over the parsley and chives.

  3. Crack the egg into the centre and season with the salt and black pepper.

  4. Bake for 5–7 minutes, until the white is set and the yolk is still runny. Serve immediately with the crusty bread.
