Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 slices sourdough bread
- 1/2 cup fresh mushrooms (button or cremini)
- 1 tablespoon butter
Seasoning and Flavor Enhancers:
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- Salt and pepper to taste
Cooking and Garnish Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon chopped parsley
Instructions
- Lightly char sourdough slices in a toaster or skillet until edges turn golden and surface becomes crisp and textured.
- Warm olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat, creating a shimmering surface for sautéing mushrooms.
- Gently add mushrooms to the hot pan, allowing them to caramelize and release their rich, earthy moisture for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Introduce Dijon mustard, fresh thyme, and butter to the mushrooms, creating a glossy, aromatic coating that intensifies the flavors.
- Continue cooking for an additional 2 minutes, ensuring the mushrooms are thoroughly infused with the herbal and tangy sauce.
- Season the mushroom mixture with salt and freshly ground black pepper, balancing the robust flavors.
- Generously spread the warm, fragrant mushroom mixture across the crispy toasted bread slices.
- Finish by scattering finely chopped fresh parsley over the top, adding a bright, herbaceous garnish that provides visual appeal and a fresh note.
Notes
- Experiment with different bread types like whole wheat, rye, or gluten-free options for varied texture and flavor profiles.
- Choose a mix of mushroom varieties such as shiitake, oyster, or cremini to add depth and complexity to the dish.
- Enhance the nutritional value by adding a sprinkle of nutritional yeast or a small amount of crumbled goat cheese for extra protein and richness.
- Use a cast-iron skillet for better caramelization and deeper umami flavors when sautéing the mushrooms.
