I like toast for lunch because it takes under 10 minutes to make, you can top it with any satisfying combination of handy ingredients, and it will fill you up. Choose your flavors; anything you have in mind will probably work if you don`t over do it. Here I went with garlicky chards, oyster mushrooms, and parmesan. You could substitute the chard for spinach and the oyster for a different mushroom.

I can’t wait until this summer. Then I can make this with chanterelles…

Description

This Red Chard and Oyster Mushroom Toast is a quick and satisfying lunch option, featuring garlicky chard, savory oyster mushrooms, and a sprinkle of parmesan cheese on toasted bread.

Ingredients

Units Scale

2 large slices of bread, toasted
6 leaves red chard, roughly chopped
150g oyster mushrooms, roughly chopped
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon sunflower oil
Salt and pepper, to taste
Grated parmesan cheese, for topping

Instructions

Heat 2 tablespoons of butter in a pan over medium heat. Add the red chard and sauté for about 2 minutes or until soft. Near the end of cooking, add the finely chopped garlic and season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
In the same pan, add 1 tablespoon of sunflower oil and heat over medium-high heat. Add the oyster mushrooms and sauté for about 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and tender.
Top each toasted bread slice with the sautéed chard and mushrooms. Sprinkle with grated parmesan cheese.
Serve immediately while warm.

Notes

You can substitute the red chard with spinach if desired. Feel free to use other types of mushrooms like chanterelles when in season. This dish is best served immediately to enjoy the crispness of the toast. Store any leftover sautéed chard and mushrooms in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
