  Prepare the poached egg, or poached egg. Bring water to a boil in a saucepan, add a little vinegar, mix with a spoon to create a vortex and gently pour an egg into the center by sliding it from a ladle. Cook it for a couple of minutes with the help of a slotted spoon to keep the egg white adherent to the yolk (alternatively you can cook the egg in a pan with a little oil).

  Meanwhile, toast the slices of bread (you can make two or three layers to taste). Spread the radicchio cream on the first slice, add the mushrooms, cover with another slice of bread, spread again with radicchio cream and add the mushrooms. Cover with the third slice, proceed as before, and at the end take the egg with a slotted spoon, drain it well and place it delicately in the center of the slice of bread, add a grind of black pepper, a little finely chopped parsley and serve immediately.
