Classic combo of creamy mushrooms, garlic and parsley piled onto toast. On the table in 10 minutes!
Mushrooms on toast are usually a classic British dish. It is usually served for breakfast or evening snack with tea or even for a light supper. I love this recipe because of its simplicity, just sautéed mushrooms with some parsley and dumped over on toasted bread. Many skip onion/shallots to it. But I wanted to make it simple and perfect and want to feel the taste of the beautiful mushrooms with shallots. Mushrooms cooked for around 7 minutes so they release their juices and then cooked with cream and parsley, when placed over the toast it absorbs the delicious mushroom juices.
I made this on a weekend for me and I was totally happy with a glass of juice and some fruits! It is perfect for breakfast or brunch. Simple and I was totally satisfied. As I always mention, mushrooms with garlic and butter is so perfect! They are made for each other 😀 I am not a great mushroom lover. But when I just toss them with garlic and butter, I can have the whole bowl. 😀 that garlic and butter is a deadly combination to mushroom. It elevates the mushroom taste. So I add them to my quesadilla, curries, white curry, tacos, pasta, pizza and everything now. I just had the whole plate 🙂 and made another toast and had one more! It was so tasty!!! I am sure kids would love this 🙂 and as a grown kid 😀 we ourselves would just drool when we see the end result! The best thing about this recipe is mushroom topping can be made several hours even overnight and refrigerated. When you’re ready to serve, reheat the mushrooms over low heat and top on the toast and serve.
