Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 medium Shallot
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves
- 250 grams Cremini or button mushrooms
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 50 milliliters Dry white wine
- 75 milliliters Heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 4 slices Rustic bread (such as sourdough or baguette)
- 1 tablespoon Extra olive oil or butter (for toasting bread)
Instructions
Heat 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Finely chop the shallot and garlic. Add them to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened and fragrant.
Clean the mushrooms with a damp cloth and thinly slice them. Add the mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they release their moisture and turn golden brown.
Sprinkle the fresh thyme leaves over the mushrooms and stir to combine.
Pour in the dry white wine and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes until it reduces by half.
Lower the heat to medium-low and stir in the heavy cream. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
Season the mushroom mixture with salt and black pepper to taste. Stir in the chopped fresh parsley, then remove the skillet from the heat.
Toast the slices of bread in a toaster, under a broiler, or in a skillet with a little olive oil or butter until golden and crisp.
Divide the mushroom mixture evenly over the toasted bread slices, ensuring some of the creamy sauce coats the bread.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
