  1. Toast the slices of sourdough bread until golden brown and crisp. You can do this in a toaster, under the grill, or in a dry pan. Set aside.

  2. Heat the butter and olive oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat.

  3. Add the sliced mushrooms to the pan and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are browned and have released their moisture.

  4. Reduce the heat to medium, add the minced garlic, and cook for another minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

  5. Pour in the double cream, add the chopped parsley, and season with salt and pepper. Stir everything together.

  6. Let the sauce simmer gently for 2-3 minutes until it has thickened slightly and coats the mushrooms.

  7. To serve, place a slice of toast on each plate and spoon the creamy garlic mushroom mixture generously over the top.

  8. Garnish with a little extra fresh parsley and a crack of black pepper before serving immediately.
