🍄✨ Mushroom Toast

Ingredients:

• 2 slices crusty bread (sourdough or rustic country loaf)

• 2 tbsp butter or olive oil

• 2 cups mixed mushrooms (cremini, shiitake, oyster, or button), sliced

• 1 small shallot or onion, finely diced

• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• 2 tbsp fresh herbs (thyme, parsley, or chives), chopped

• 2 tbsp cream or crème fraîche (optional, for extra richness)

• Salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste

• Shaved Parmesan or crumbled goat cheese (optional, for topping)

Instructions:

1. Toast the bread: Lightly toast bread slices until golden and crisp. Set aside.

2. Cook mushrooms: In a skillet, heat butter or olive oil over medium heat. Add shallot and cook 2–3 minutes until softened. Add garlic and mushrooms, cooking until mushrooms are golden brown and tender (6–8 minutes).

3. Season with salt, pepper, and fresh herbs. Stir in cream or crème fraîche if using, for a silky texture.

4. Assemble: Spoon mushroom mixture generously over toasted bread.

5. Finish with Parmesan shavings or goat cheese crumbles. Garnish with extra herbs.
