Categories     Mushroom     Appetizer     Bake

Yield 2 appetizers

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 tablespoon butter
1 1/2 cups chopped onions
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 pounds assorted wild mushrooms(such as shiitake, stems removed; oyster mushrooms; chanterelle; and crimini)
2 tablespoons brandy
24 1/2-inch thick diagonal slices sourdough baguette
1 pound (about) Brie, sliced
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Melt butter in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions and garlic, saute 2 minutes. Increase heat to high. Add mushrooms and saute until tender, about 5 minutes. Add brandy; boil until liquid evaporates, about 6 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. (Mushrooms can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate.) Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Arrange bread on baking sheets. Bake until beginning to color, about 5 minutes per side. Spoon mushrooms over. Top with cheese slices. Bake until cheese melts, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle with parsley.

Tips:

- Clean mushrooms gently: Brush off any dirt or debris with a soft brush or a damp cloth. Avoid washing mushrooms as they can absorb water and become soggy. - Choose the freshest mushrooms: Look for mushrooms with firm, dry caps and no signs of bruising or discoloration. - Use a variety of mushrooms: Different mushrooms offer different flavors and textures, so mix and match different types to create a more complex and interesting dish. - Sauté mushrooms properly: Heat a pan over medium-high heat and add a little oil or butter. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are browned and tender. Avoid overcrowding the pan, as this will prevent the mushrooms from browning properly. - Enhance the flavor of the mushrooms: Add herbs, spices, or aromatics such as garlic, shallots, or thyme to the sautéed mushrooms to enhance their flavor. - Use a sturdy bread: Choose a bread that can hold up to the weight of the mushrooms and sauce. A thick slice of sourdough, country bread, or baguette works well. - Toast the bread: Toasting the bread will help it to hold up better under the weight of the mushrooms and sauce. - Serve immediately: Mushroom toasts are best served hot and fresh out of the oven.

Conclusion:

With its simple yet flavorful ingredients and endless variations, the wild mushroom toast is a versatile and delicious dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Whether you prefer a simple preparation with just mushrooms and herbs or a more elaborate version with a creamy sauce or cheese, there's a wild mushroom toast recipe out there to suit your taste.
