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.

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.

BUTTERED WILD MUSHROOMS ON TOAST

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.

MIXED WILD MUSHROOM SAUTE ON TOAST POINTS (RACHAEL RAY)

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.

MUSHROOM TOASTS

Steps:

• Wipe clean, and thinly slice the mushrooms.
• Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat.
• Add the mushrooms and cook until very well reduced and softened.
• We did this in 2 batches.

• Add the lemon juice, season very well with salt and pepper, and stir through the parsley.
• Meanwhile, slice the loaf into 10 slices.
• Butter with the extra softened butter (one side only) and place under the grill (broiler).
• Grill until golden on one side only and remove to a warmed serving dish.
• Pile the mushrooms onto the toasts and serve.

POACHED EGGS AND WILD MUSHROOMS ON TOAST

Steps:

• In a large nonstick skillet, melt the butter in the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and a generous pinch each of salt and pepper. Toss quickly, cover, and cook, undisturbed, until the mushrooms are tender and lightly browned on the bottom, about 8 minutes. Transfer to a medium bowl, stir in the lemon juice, and season with salt and pepper. Cover with plastic wrap to keep warm.
• Wipe out the skillet. Fill the skillet with water and heat over medium heat until tiny bubbles appear on the bottom. Stir in the vinegar and a generous pinch of salt. One at a time, crack the eggs into a small bowl and very carefully slide them into the water. Poach over medium heat until the whites are just firm and the yolks are runny, 3 to 5 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the eggs to a plate.
• Meanwhile, toast and butter the bread and then transfer to plates. Stir the basil into the mushrooms and spoon onto the toasts. Carefully slide the poached eggs onto the toasts over the mushrooms. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Serve with a knife and fork.

WILD MUSHROOM TOASTS

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.
