Mushroom Herb Butter

Gruyère Fondue

Method

Mushroom Herb Butter

  1. 1

    Prepare the Mushroom Herb Butter

    In a skillet over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Add the finely chopped mushrooms and sauté until they are soft and browned, about 5-7 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add the minced garlic, chopped thyme, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the garlic is fragrant. Remove from heat and set aside.

Gruyère Fondue

  1. 3

    Make the Gruyère Fondue

    In a saucepan, rub the inside with the halved garlic clove, then discard the clove. Add white wine and bring to a simmer over medium heat.

  2. 4

    Gradually add the grated Gruyère cheese, stirring constantly until melted and smooth. Mix cornstarch with a tablespoon of water to form a slurry and add it to the cheese mixture, stirring until it thickens. Season with grated nutmeg and black pepper.

Toast Assembly

  1. 5

    Assemble the Toast

    Toast the sourdough bread slices until golden brown. Spread a generous amount of the mushroom herb butter on each slice.

  2. 6

    Top each slice with a spoonful of the Gruyère fondue and sprinkle with chopped chives before serving.
