HTML Directions

• 1

  Gather Ingredients and Preheat Broiler
  

  Gather all the necessary ingredients for your dish. Preheat your broiler on high.

• 2

  Heat the Skillet
  

  Preheat a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the butter and let it melt. Then, add the shallot and sauté for 1 minute before adding the garlic and stirring.

• 3

  Sauté the Mushrooms
  

  Add the mushrooms to the skillet and sauté for about 5 minutes until lightly browned and tender. Stir in the soy sauce and cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes, allowing most of the liquid to evaporate. Add the thyme, then season with salt and pepper. Stir once more and reduce the heat to low.

• 4

  Toast the Bread
  

  Brush both sides of the bread slices with olive oil. Arrange them on a baking tray and toast under the broiler for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the edges are browned and crispy. Flip and repeat to toast the other side.

• 5

  Assemble and Serve
  

  Add grated cheese to each slice of warm bread. Top with the sautéed mushrooms, garnish with parsley, and serve immediately.

Toasts of all shapes and sizes are great additions to brunch menus. It all started with the famous avocado toast, and has grown to a whole menu section. Chefs and restaurants recognize that crusty bread is a perfect vehicle for all sorts of delicious things: homemade jams and compotes, various cheeses and meats, and even sautéed mushrooms. Mushroom toast combines flavorful, meaty mushrooms with melty cheese to make the ultimate topping for toast. It's so much more than the sum of its parts, and can be eaten on its own for breakfast, alongside fresh fruit for brunch, or with a simple salad for an easy dinner.

We like to use a mix of two to three kinds of fresh mushrooms, such as shiitake, cremini, oyster, and chanterelles. If you don't have access to a large selection of fungi, creminis will do just fine. If you have some handy, you can add a small splash of dry white wine or vermouth when you add the soy sauce. Just let it cook off a bit before proceeding with the recipe. It'll add an extra boost of flavor.

When choosing your bread, gravitate towards a rustic loaf with a bit of weight, a crunchy exterior, and nice flavor. Whole wheat varieties are good here, as well as multi-grain and seeded loaves.
