MUSHROOMS ON TOAST
Mushrooms On Toast is an easy, delicious and healthy breakfast, light lunch or dinner option. Easy to make, hubby and I love to have it with our soup or with some salad as a healthy and filling meal.
Ingredients
- 4 large bread slices
- 250 g mushrooms
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1 tbsp garlic peeled and finely chopped
- 1 tsp dried parsley
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp pepper powder
- 2-3 tbsp garlic butter
- ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ¼ cup spring onion finely chopped
- 1 tsp dried chilli flakes
Instructions
- First prepare the mushrooms. If they are very dirty then dunk them in some water. Using your fingers rub off the soil. Remove immediately and dry them on a kitchen towel.
- Alternately, wipe them with a wet towel.
- Chop the mushrooms into slices or chunks.
- Heat oil and butter in a wide pan over medium heat.
- When the butter melts, add the chopped garlic.
- Stir fry for a few seconds, till you get the aroma.
- Add the mushrooms. Mix well.
- Sprinkle salt and mix well. Increase the heat to high.
- Allow the mushrooms to cook till most of the water disappears. Stir frequently.
- Add parsley, pepper powder and mix well.
- Take the pan off the heat. If the mushrooms become cold, you can heat them up again.
- Toast the bread slices slightly. Don't toast them fully.
- Spread some garlic butter over the toasted slices.
- Sprinkle the grated or shredded cheese over the slices.
- Toast till the cheese melts or the toast becomes golden brown at the edges.
- Top the toasted bread with the hot mushroom mixture.
- Sprinkle some spring onions over them. Add some dried chilli flakes.
- Serve with some soup or salad.
Notes
- Use any bread of your choice. Make sure the slices are not too thin as it may not hold the weight of the mushrooms.
- Use cream cheese instead of cheddar cheese.
- Add herbs and spices of your choice.
- Use a variety of mushrooms if you have access to them.
