Our Mushroom Toast recipe is made with three kinds of mushrooms for a hearty and satisfying meal. My version is not a creamy mushroom toast, but one that is cleaner and flavored with fresh herbs and white wine. Like our Roasted Tomato Quiche or Five Cheese Soufflé, it tastes great any time of the day: breakfast, lunch or dinner.

Hint: The perfect complement to Mushrooms on Toast is a Bloody Mary, made with our Homemade Bloody Mary Mix.

GARLIC: 2 fresh garlic cloves
WHITE WINE: chicken broth works also
GROUND BLACK PEPPER

Mushroom Toast is not just for breakfast! Serve it with a Grilled Romaine Caesar Salad or a cup of Cream of Tomato Soup for a perfect light lunch or dinner.

Instructions

Heat a large skillet over medium high heat.
Spray bread slices with cooking spray and place in pan until bread is golden brown.
Remove bread and place olive oil in pan.
Using a food processor, chop the 8 ounces of white mushrooms to resemble a small coarse grind.
Place this in pan along with the garlic cloves and black pepper. Sauté over medium high heat until nicely brown, about 5 minutes.
Add white wine and cook for an additional minute. Remove from heat and add chopped parsley.
Place in bowl. Add rough chopped remaining mushrooms and cook for 2 minutes.
While the mushrooms are cooking, use a non stick pan sprayed with cooking spray and cook two eggs until whites are set.
To assemble toasts, place half of the white mushroom mixture on toast and top with the variety mushrooms, then top with egg.
Garnish with salt, pepper and chopped chives.

Top tip

Sourdough bread (white or wheat) works best for this recipe because it is soft on the inside and has a nice crunchy crust.

Variations

NO WHITE WINE? Substitute chicken broth.
EGG OPTIONS: We like this recipe with a sunny side up egg, but it also works with scrambled eggs, poached eggs, or eggs over medium.
TRUFFLE EGGS: drizzle with truffle oil for maximum flavor
CREAMY MUSHROOM TOAST: top mushrooms with a dollop of Crème Fraîche or ricotta.
MAKE IT CHEESY: top with freshly grated parmesan cheese
FRESH THYME can be used instead of parsley.
