Garlicky Mushroom Toast Cups Recipes

GARLICKY MUSHROOM TOAST CUPS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Stir in garlic, and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add mushrooms, and continue cooking until softened and lightly browned, 4 to 6 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, then set aside to cool.
• Meanwhile, spread softened butter onto one side of each slice of bread. Press the buttered sides into a muffin tin; set aside.
• Stir together eggs and cream, then stir in the cooled mushroom mixture. Divide this custard equally among the toast cups. Sprinkle the tops with grated Parmesan cheese.
• Bake in preheated oven until egg mixture sets, and tops are golden brown, about 20 minutes.

MUSHROOM TOAST CUPS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Use a small cookie cutter to cut rounds out of the bread. Press the rounds into ungreased mini muffin tins, and bake for 8 or 9 minutes until golden; keep a close watch on them, as they bake fast. Turn out bread cups to cool.
• Heat butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Stir in the mushrooms and onions, and cook until soft, about 8 minutes. Season with cayenne pepper, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and chopped parsley. Gradually stir in half-and-half, and sprinkle with a bit of flour until mixture gets thick.
• Fill bread cups with mushroom mixture, top each with a sprinkle of Parmesan, and place on a lightly greased baking sheet. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes.

GARLIC MUSHROOMS ON TOAST

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large frying pan, then tip in the mushrooms and garlic and cook for 3 mins. Stir in the soft cheese and the stock and simmer for 2 mins. Lightly toast the baguettes, top with the warm mushrooms and a grinding of black pepper.

BACON AND EGGS WITH MUSHROOM-GARLIC TOASTS

Steps:

• Cook bacon until crisp. Rub toast slices with garlic clove. Saute mushrooms in 2 teaspoons bacon fat, season, and divide among toasts. Lightly scramble eggs in 1 tablespoon bacon fat; when set but still wet, fold in ricotta and tarragon; season. Top mushrooms with eggs and crumbled bacon.

SAVORY MUSHROOM CUPS

Steps:

• Wash and chop up all the mushrooms.
• Peel and finely chop the shallots.
• Melt the butter in a large stock pot.
• Add shallots, cook until slightly browning (about 2 minutes).
• Add mushrooms. Cook until liquid is mostly absorbed (about 15 minutes).
• Throw in the flour and stir.
• Add whipping cream and stir.
• Remove from heat and toss in all of the spices, stir until uniform.
• Set aside to cool. If storing for later, allow to cool before putting into the refrigerator.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Spoon mushroom filling into toast cups (see instructions for toast cups below).
• Top with a sprinkle of parmesan cheese and bake for 10-15 minutes (cheese should be pretty melted).
• Serve hot.
• Toast Cups: Preheat over to 400 degrees. Spray a muffin tin (or mini muffin tin) with cooking spray. Using a plain or fluted biscuit cutter (2.5-3 inch size for the muffin tin and 1.5-2 inch size for minis), cut a round from each slice of bread and gently press into the muffin cups. Bake until edges are golden brown (about 10 minutes) and let they cool on a wire rack. If storing for future use, cool and then put into an air tight container.
