This recipe for Gluten-Free Mushroom Soup and Eggs on Toast is an upgraded version of one of my childhood favourites... now gluten-free!
Note: This recipe was first posted on my original blog, Celebration Generation, on May 14, 2012. It was transferred over to this blog - existing comments and all - on 9/20/2021
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.
Gluten-Free Mushroom Soup & Eggs on Toast
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?

I loved this as a kid (born mid-1950s) and still do today. However, I'm pretty sure that I have Celiac's so I hope to try this recipe soon. I'm from Michigan but my mother was born in South Dakota and her mother was from Minnesota so it COULD be a regional thing.
I love this dish. My Swedish relatives fed it to me as a child and I still have cravings today. I have found a delicious gluten free bread that works well with this recipe and gluten free condensed mushroom soup. Yummy. Yes if I had the time I would make everything from scratch but that’s just not going to happen right now. I also, have never met anyone outside my family that knows or likes this dish. Dinner tonight, yum!
Our family rated this dish as a perfect rainy day lunch. Fast forward 25-35 years and I couldn’t even convince my children to try it. I think the difference between when we were growing up and then was the fact that we were more accustomed to having gravies, casseroles and stews as a means of our parents working vegetables into any dish they could for nutritional values. By the time I raised my own, offering them pure, home-ground vegetables puréed or even small, raw vegetable snacks, their taste buds were adverse to mushy, runny, dishes where everything fused into one collective taste. Fortunately I enjoy it all, and make it on occasion when home alone.
