Make This Chef Matt Basiles Creamy Mushrooms On Toast Food

CREAMY MUSHROOMS ON TOAST

Steps:

• Heat a pan and add 1 tsp oil and saute whole button mushrooms for about 2 minutes. Remove from heat. Keep the mushrooms aside.
• In the same pan add the rest of the oil. Add garlic cloves and saute till light brown on medium heat till the rawness of the flour disappears and it is still whitish in color. Remove from stove, add milk and whisk till the flour is completely mixed with milk and no lumps are formed, If some lumps do form, do not despair, strain the mixture through a soup sieve and put back on the stove.
• Add salt and pepper, cilantro and dried herbs as well as mushrooms. Bring to a simmer till the sauce thickens. Add the cheese and serve immediately.

MUSHROOMS ON TOAST

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.

MUSHROOMS ON TOAST

Steps:

• Wipe any dirt from the mushrooms and, if you want, slice them into three or four thick pieces.
• Heat half the butter and oil in a frying pan over medium heat.
• Lay out the mushrooms and then turn immediately, so both sides are saturated with the buttery oil.
• Lower the heat and leave to cook, turning occasionally, for about eight minutes until completely cooked and dark in colour.
• Near the end of the cooking, scatter the garlic over the mushrooms and toss the mushrooms around in the pan so the garlic cooks.
• Stir in the parsley and season with salt and pepper.
• Sprinkle with lemon juice and toss for a final time.
• Turn off the heat.
• Toast the bread, butter one side and pile the mushrooms on top.

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a sauté pan, add the garlic and sauté for 1 or 2 minutes.
• Add the mushrooms to the pan and continue to sauté, stirring continuously for 3 minutes until the mushrooms have softened. Keep a careful eye on the garlic to make sure that it does not brown.
• Add the lemon juice and cook a further minute.
• Gradually add the light cream and cook gently until the mixture thickens.
• Add salt and pepper to taste, and the chopped parsley, oregano and tarragon.
• Divide mixture among hot toast slices.
• Garnish with tarragon leaves and serve immediately.
• Or, if using as a topping or sauce, add to meat, vegetables or pasta just before serving - or serve it in a separate jug.
