Sautéed Mushroom Breakfast Toasts
Photo Credit: Jamie SalomonIf you’ve never had breakfast mushrooms on toast, you’re in for a treat. One of the most delicious ways to prepare mushrooms is to simply sautée them over high heat until they begin to caramelize. You’ll see this preparation at Spanish tapas restaurants, where they’re cooked on a hot griddle called a plancha. Here, the mushrooms are seared in a skillet and served for breakfast with a fried egg over toast.
Yield:
4 servings
Total Time:
25 minutes minutesHands-on Time:
25 minutes minutes
Ingredients
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 1/2 pounds mushrooms, any kind, stemmed and sliced
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
Salt and pepper, to taste
4 thick slices crusty bread, toasted and lightly buttered
4 large eggs
Fresh thyme leaves, for garnish
Instructions
In a large skillet, melt butter in olive oil over high heat. Quickly add mushrooms and cook, stirring often, until they begin to brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Add thyme, salt, and pepper, and cook, stirring, until the mushrooms are caramelized and crisp at the edges, 2 to 3 minutes more. Remove pan from heat and spoon the mushrooms over the toasted bread slices. Return skillet to heat and fry the eggs to your desired doneness. Serve the eggs atop the mushrooms and garnish with thyme leaves.
Love your magazine and always look forward reading it cover to cover. Also enjoy these emails very much. The recipes are wonderful!
I make a version of your mushrooms on toast. Instead of the fried egg, I slightly warm a slice of mushroom brie (Trader Joe’s is best) on top of the mushrooms and serve it on a slice of toasted baguette. Yum! Now to try the fried egg…
Can’t wait to try the mushroom toast. I like the idea of using mushroom brie instead of the egg. Thanks
I sauté mushrooms with onions then put it on poached eggs. Toast on the side. Sprinkle bagel/sesame, garlic and onion seasoning over all from Trader Joe’s. Delicious.
Such a great recipe if you want to use as is or as a base for additional ingredients such as shallots and garlic added to the sauté and melted gruyere’ cheese for finishing. Everyone enjoyed your recipe….thank you!
Just made this with havarti melted over mushrooms. Then egg. Then enjoy!!! 5 star yymmmmm!
