Time 15m

Yield Four servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 slices buttered toast (see recipe)
1/2 pound fresh mushrooms
1 tablespoon butter
2 tablespoons heavy cream
Salt to taste, if desired
Freshly ground pepper to taste
2 teaspoons anchovy paste
1 tablespoon finely chopped parsley

Steps:

  • Prepare the toast.
  • As the toast bakes, slice the mushrooms thinly. There should be about three cups.
  • Heat the butter in a heavy saucepan and add the mushrooms. Cook, stirring, until the mushrooms give up their liquid. Continue cooking until this liquid evaporates.
  • Add the cream, salt and pepper, and cook about one minute longer.
  • Spread each slice of toast with one-half teaspoon anchovy paste. Spoon an equal portion of the mushrooms over the anchovy paste. Sprinkle with parsley and serve immediately.

The anchovy toast was a bit too salty for my taste. Next time I'll use less anchovies.

I would have liked the mushrooms to be a bit more flavorful. Maybe next time I'll add some garlic or herbs.

The anchovy toast was a great way to serve the mushrooms. The salty flavor of the anchovies really complemented the richness of the mushrooms.

The mushrooms were cooked perfectly - they were tender and juicy, but not mushy.

I'm not usually a fan of anchovies, but they were surprisingly good in this dish. The creaminess of the mushrooms helped to balance out the salty flavor of the anchovies.
