Mushroom toast is a savory, satisfying, and easy-to-make snack that’s perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a light dinner. This recipe combines earthy mushrooms with garlic, herbs, and creamy ingredients, served over crispy toast. Let’s dive into how to make the perfect mushroom toast!
Ingredients:
- 2 cups of mushrooms (button, cremini, or any of your choice), sliced
- 2 tbsp butter or olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp fresh thyme or parsley, chopped (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tbsp cream or crème fraîche (optional for creaminess)
- 2 slices of sourdough or any crusty bread, toasted
- Grated Parmesan or feta cheese for topping (optional)
Instructions:
- Prepare the mushrooms: Clean the mushrooms and slice them thinly. Set them aside.
- Cook the mushrooms: Heat the butter or olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until they are golden and have released their moisture.
- Add garlic and herbs: Once the mushrooms are cooked, add the minced garlic and thyme (or parsley) to the pan. Sauté for another 1-2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant.
- Season and add cream: Season the mushroom mixture with salt and pepper to taste. For a creamy texture, add 2 tablespoons of cream or crème fraîche at this stage and mix well.
- Toast the bread: While the mushrooms are cooking, toast your bread slices until they are golden and crisp.
- Assemble the toast: Spoon the mushroom mixture onto the toasted bread. Top with grated Parmesan or feta cheese if desired.
- Serve: Serve your mushroom toast immediately and enjoy its rich, earthy flavor.
Tips:
- You can experiment with different mushroom varieties, like shiitake or oyster mushrooms, for unique flavors.
- For a vegan option, skip the butter and cream and use plant-based alternatives like vegan butter or cashew cream.
Mushroom toast is versatile and can be paired with a simple salad or a soft-boiled egg for a complete meal!
