Ingredients
- 1 Tbsp butter
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 3-4 small shallots, finely chopped (or ½ large onion)
- 4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 250 g (~ 9 oz) mushrooms (I used chestnut mushrooms), roughly chopped
- ½ tsp ground nutmeg
- Black pepper
- 1 Tbsp creme fraiche
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 Tbsp lemon juice
- 2 Tbsp finely grated vegetarian parmesan-style cheese
- 2 large (or 4 small) slices of bread - I used thick slices of baguette
- Few sprigs fresh parsley, chopped
- Few sprigs fresh chives, chopped
Instructions
- Add the butter and olive oil to a frying pan, and set the heat to medium or medium-low (my stove was set to 4 out of 9). When the butter has melted, add the chopped shallots and garlic, and allow them to sweat for a few minutes. If they begin to brown at all, turn the heat down.
- Add the chopped mushrooms, along with the nutmeg, salt, and plenty of black pepper. Continue to cook over a medium heat for a further 5-10 minutes, until the mushrooms have cooked down and released their liquid.
- Add the creme fraiche, Dijon mustard, lemon juice and parmesan-style cheese, and gently stir until the ingredients have melted together to give a glossy sauce.
- When the mushrooms are nearly ready, toast the slices of bread. I toasted mine in a frying pan in a little butter, but you can use a regular toaster if you prefer.
- Stir the fresh herbs through the creamy mushrooms, and serve on the toasted bread. If desired, top with some extra black pepper, grated cheese, and/or fresh herbs.
Notes
The creamy mushrooms can be prepared in advance, and reheated either in the microwave or in a frying pan. You can add a dash of water if they've begun to dry out at all. It's best to prepare the toast just before serving.
