MUSHROOMS ON TOAST

Steps:

• Wipe any dirt from the mushrooms and, if you want, slice them into three or four thick pieces.
• Heat half the butter and oil in a frying pan over medium heat.
• Lay out the mushrooms and then turn immediately, so both sides are saturated with the buttery oil.
• Lower the heat and leave to cook, turning occasionally, for about eight minutes until completely cooked and dark in colour.
• Near the end of the cooking, scatter the garlic over the mushrooms and toss the mushrooms around in the pan so the garlic cooks.
• Stir in the parsley and season with salt and pepper.
• Sprinkle with lemon juice and toss for a final time.
• Turn off the heat.
• Toast the bread, butter one side and pile the mushrooms on top.

WILD MUSHROOM TOASTS

Steps:

• Preheat broiler.
• In large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add onion; saute 1 minute. Add all mushrooms, garlic and thyme; saute until beginning to brown, about 6 minutes or until liquid evaporates. Remove from heat. Stir in cream and cheeses. Season with salt and pepper.
• Top each toast with about 1 tablespoon mushroom topping. Place toasts on rimmed baking sheets. Working in batches, broil until cheese is melted and begins to brown, watching closely to prevent burning, about 2 minutes. Transfer to serving platter and serve warm.

MUSHROOMS ON TOAST

Steps:

• Heat a wide skillet over high heat and add butter, swirling pan. When butter begins to sizzle, add mushrooms and cook, stirring, until lightly browned, 6 to 8 minutes.
• Add thyme and garlic, and stir to coat. Season well with salt and pepper and continue to sauté for a minute more, then add sherry, if using. Add crème fraîche and let mixture simmer 2 minutes.
• Meanwhile, toast bread slices until golden. Lightly butter them and place on individual warm plates.
• Spoon mushrooms and juices over toasted bread. Top with chopped parsley.

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.

CREAMED MUSHROOMS ON TOAST

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a sauté pan, add the garlic and sauté for 1 or 2 minutes.
• Add the mushrooms to the pan and continue to sauté, stirring continuously for 3 minutes until the mushrooms have softened. Keep a careful eye on the garlic to make sure that it does not brown.
• Add the lemon juice and cook a further minute.
• Gradually add the light cream and cook gently until the mixture thickens.
• Add salt and pepper to taste, and the chopped parsley, oregano and tarragon.
• Divide mixture among hot toast slices.
• Garnish with tarragon leaves and serve immediately.
• Or, if using as a topping or sauce, add to meat, vegetables or pasta just before serving - or serve it in a separate jug.

MUSHROOMS ON TOAST

Steps:

• Toast the sourdough bread, cut each slice in half, then set aside. Heat a large frying pan with the olive oil. Fry the prosciutto in the pan for about 2 mins on each side until golden and crisp. Break into large pieces and set aside on some kitchen paper.
• Add the butter to the pan followed by the mushrooms. Cook for 2 mins, then add the garlic and crème fraîche. Cook for 3-5 mins more until the mushrooms are soft and lightly coated in the crème fraîche. Stir through a little parsley. Pile up on the toasts and top with the prosciutto and more parsley.
