Mushroom Toast Recipe

Preparation

1. 1

   Prepare the Mushroom Duxelles

   In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped shallots and sauté until translucent, about 2-3 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute.

2. 2

   Cook the Mushrooms

   Add the finely chopped crimini mushrooms, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Cook, stirring frequently, until the mushrooms release their moisture and become dry, about 10-15 minutes. Stir in the chopped thyme, then remove from heat.

3. 3

   Prepare the Toast Points

   While the mushrooms are cooking, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Slice your bread into triangles or rectangles to create toast points. Arrange them on a baking sheet and lightly brush with olive oil.

4. 4

   Toast the Bread

   Bake the bread in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until golden and crispy.

5. 5

   Assemble the Mushroom Toast

   Spread a generous amount of the mushroom duxelles over each toast point. Finish with a sprinkle of truffle salt before serving.
