Wild Mushroom Toasts Recipes

Steps:

• Brush the caps of each mushroom with a clean sponge. Remove and discard the stems. Slice the small mushrooms thickly and cut the large ones in a large dice.
• Heat the olive oil in a large (11 - inch) Dutch oven or saucepan. Add the shallots and cook over low heat for 5 minutes, or until the shallots are translucent. Add the butter, mushrooms, salt, and pepper and cook over medium heat for 8 minutes, until they are tender and begin to release their juices, stirring often. Stir in the garlic and cook for 2 more minutes. Toss in the parsley, sprinkle with salt, and serve warm.

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.

Steps:

• Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil and butter.
• Once butter melts, add the garlic and shallots, cook for 30 seconds and add mushrooms and combine.
• Sprinkle thyme over mushrooms, stirring frequently until they brown; add salt and pepper to taste.
• Sprinkle flour over the mushrooms and cook for 1-2 more minutes, stirring to evenly distribute.
• Whisk the wine into the pan and cook it off for a minute, then whisk in the stock.
• Thicken the stock for a minute, then add the half-and-half and simmer over low heat for 5 minutes.
• Cut the toasted bread in triangle halves. Arrange 4 toast triangles on a dinner plate. Pour 1/4 of the mushrooms across each portion and top with Gruyere.

Steps:

• Wipe any dirt from the mushrooms with a damp cloth or paper towel.
• Cut off any tough stems; half smaller mushrooms and quarter larger ones to make approximate even sizes.
• Heat butter and 1 Tbsp of the oil in a 10-12 inch deep saute pan over medium-high heat.
• Add the mushrooms and a pinch of salt and cook, stirring often, for 8-10 minutes, until any liquid has evaporated. If the mushrooms become too dry add a drizzle of oil.
• Transfer mushrooms to a cutting board, let cool a few minutes, and chop coarsely.
• Wipe out the pan and set over medium heat with 1 Tbsp olive oil.
• Add shallots, thyme and a pinch of salt and stir for a minute or two until shallots are tender and slightly golden.
• Return the mushrooms to the pan and stir in the creme fraiche to heat through without bringing to a simmer.
• Remove from the heat and stir in parsley and more salt and black pepper to taste.
• Note: If you are making the mushrooms in advance stir in only 1/4 cup of the creme fraiche now and add the other 1/4 cup when reheating later.
• Just before serving position oven rack 6 inches below the broiler element and heat broiler.
• Place baguette slices on a baking sheet and brush with olive oil; Broil for a minute or two to toast.
• Spread warm mushroom mixture over toasts and sprinkle on the Parmigiano-Reggiano.
• Note: Do not at any time overheat the mushroom mixture once the creme fraiche has been added or the cream will break.

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.

Steps:

• Heat 1 tbsp butter, the rosemary and garlic in a frying pan over a medium heat. Once bubbling, toss in the mushrooms and cook until golden and tender. Add the remaining 1 tbsp butter to the pan with the Marmite and swirl it around to coat the mushrooms. Remove from the heat and scatter over the parsley with a little seasoning.
• Divide the mushrooms between the 4 slices of toast, and drizzle over any butter left in the pan. Serve immediately.
