Mushroom Toasts

These mixed Mushroom Toasts can be served with herbs and an egg on top to be a hearty and satisfying breakfast, lunch or dinner.

Inspiration for our recipes at superman cooks comes from many sources. These Mushrooms Toasts with Egg on Top were definitely inspired by a meal Jackie just couldn’t forget (and wouldn’t let me forget it either). She had a “bee in her bonnet” again. Jackie’s favorite meal is brunch. Brunch in the city is a popular ritual on the weekends, and it is very different from most brunches served in the suburbs. Most New York restaurants serve simple (yet overpriced in my opinion) egg dishes, but we enjoy them anyway and like to use this time to connect with friends.

Jackie spent a weekend upstate with one of her girlfriends last fall, and for breakfast she served Jackie a mushroom toast. This was many months ago, but it has stuck in Jackie’s head. Since that weekend, she has been ordering a variety of toasts every time we go out for brunch. Now I love to make my girl happy, especially by cooking for her, and she has been asking me to make mushroom toasts for quite some time now.

Yes, it took me a while, but I finally fulfilled my girl’s wish, and I have to admit I am glad that I did. I am the type that likes a more hearty meal for brunch, one that includes potatoes. But the mushroom mixture is hearty and satisfying, and proved to be a healthy option. I am now glad that the infamous bee landed in Jackie’s bonnet.

Ingredients

Units USM Scale 1x2x3x

• 8 oz (227 g) white or mini crimini mushrooms
• 8 oz (227 g) variety mushrooms (we used shitaki, oyster, and portabello)
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic
• 0.5 cups (118 ml) white wine (can use chicken broth)
• 1 tsp black pepper
• 0.25 cups (59 ml) chopped parsley
• 1 tbsp chopped chives
• 2 slices Italian bread
• 2 eggs
• cooking spray

---

Instructions

1. In a large skillet, heat over medium-high heat.
2. Spray bread slices with cooking spray and place in the pan until golden brown.
3. Remove bread and add olive oil to the pan.
4. Using a food processor, chop 8 ounces of white mushrooms to resemble a small coarse grind.
5. Place the chopped white mushrooms, garlic cloves, and black pepper in the pan. Sauté over medium-high heat until nicely browned, about 5 minutes.
6. Add white wine and cook for an additional minute.
7. Remove from heat and add chopped parsley.
8. Place in a bowl.
9. Add roughly chopped remaining mushrooms and cook for 2 minutes.
10. While the mushrooms are cooking, use a nonstick pan sprayed with cooking spray and cook two eggs until the whites are set.
11. To assemble the toasts, place half of the white mushroom mixture on toast, top with the remaining mushrooms, and then top with an egg.
12. Garnish with pepper and chopped chives.

Notes

• For deeper mushroom flavor, sauté them in stages: cook the white mushrooms first, then add the others.
• If you don’t have white wine, vegetable broth works as a good substitute.
• To reheat leftovers, gently warm the mushrooms and egg separately to avoid overcooking the egg.
