Mushroom Toast Recipe
Description
Mushroom Toast Recipe uses a handful of simple ingredients: large baby bella mushrooms sautéed with minced garlic and kosher salt in extra virgin olive oil until tender. This mixture is spooned over toasted sourdough bread spread with labneh or cream cheese, then topped with a sprinkle of dukkah or Za’atar seasoning. The result is a warm, earthy, and slightly tangy toast with soft mushrooms and a mildly crunchy topping. Cooking the mushrooms gently allows them to retain a tender texture without excess moisture, making them ideal for bread topping.
The flavor is centered on the natural mushroom savoriness enhanced by the garlic and the rich notes of olive oil. The labneh adds a mild creaminess, creating a nice contrast to the mushrooms and toasted bread. Dukkah seasoning contributes a nutty blend of spices and seeds that lifts the whole dish.
This toast is suitable as a quick snack, light lunch, or breakfast, and can be elevated by serving alongside a runny egg for added protein and texture contrast. Alternatives such as other mushroom varieties and Za’atar for dukkah provide some customization without changing the core appeal of the dish.
To achieve the best texture, sauté the mushrooms just until tender and avoid overloading the toast with excess oil or moisture which could make the bread soggy. Use thick-cut sourdough toasted enough to hold toppings well.
Ingredients
- 5 large baby bella mushroom or use oyster mushrooms, white button, sliced
- 1 garlic minced, clove
- 1 pinch kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 lice sourdough bread cut 1/4 inch thick, toasted (1 ounce
- 1 tbsp labneh (or cream cheese)
- 1 teaspoon dukkah seasoning (or Za’atar)
Instructions
- Saute the mushrooms, garlic, salt and olive oil in a skillet until cooked and tender, about 8-10 minutes.
- On a toasted slice of bread, spread the labneh. Top with the mushrooms and sprinkle with Dukkah seasoning. Serve it with a runny egg for extra protein if desired.
Notes
- Various mushrooms like oyster, white, or portabella can be used depending on availability and preference.
- Labneh may be substituted with cream cheese if preferred.
- In absence of dukkah, Za’atar or an all-purpose seasoning blend complements the flavors well.
