Recipes:
Cheesy Mushroom Toasts
Ingredients
4 slices of rustic bread (sourdough or ciabatta works well)
2 tbsp butter
2 cups mushrooms, thinly sliced (button or cremini)
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 tsp dried thyme
Salt and pepper to taste
1 cup shredded cheese (mozzarella, Gruyère, or fontina)
Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Mushrooms
Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat.
Add the mushrooms and cook until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.
Stir in garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper, and cook for another minute until fragrant. Remove from heat.
Step 2: Assemble the Toasts
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) or use a broiler.
Lightly toast the bread slices in a toaster or on a skillet until crisp.
Divide the sautéed mushrooms evenly on top of each slice of bread.
Sprinkle shredded cheese generously over the mushrooms.
Step 3: Melt the Cheese
Place the toasts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake in the oven for 5-7 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. If using a broiler, toast for 2-3 minutes while watching closely to avoid burning.
Step 4: Garnish and Serve
Remove from the oven and sprinkle fresh parsley over the top.
Serve warm as a snack, appetizer, or light lunch.
Pro Tip:
For added flavor, drizzle a touch of truffle oil or balsamic glaze over the finished toasts before serving. Pair with a fresh salad or a cup of soup for a complete meal!
