5m10m15m
- 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.
- Heat the butter and olive oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat.
- Add the sliced mushrooms to the pan and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are browned and have released their moisture.
- Reduce the heat to medium, add the minced garlic, and cook for another minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
- Pour in the double cream, add the chopped parsley, and season with salt and pepper. Stir everything together.
- Let the sauce simmer gently for 2-3 minutes until it has thickened slightly and coats the mushrooms.
- To serve, place a slice of toast on each plate and spoon the creamy garlic mushroom mixture generously over the top.
- Garnish with a little extra fresh parsley and a crack of black pepper before serving immediately.
Notes
For the best texture, use a sturdy, rustic bread like sourdough or ciabatta that can hold up to the creamy topping without getting soggy.
A splash of white wine added with the garlic can elevate the flavour, just be sure to let it cook off for a minute before adding the cream.
Feel free to add a pinch of red pepper flakes along with the garlic for a gentle kick of heat.
