A delightful and quick recipe for creamy mushroom toast, perfect for brunch or a light dinner.
Heat a frying pan over medium heat while you slice the mushrooms thickly.
Slicing mushrooms evenly ensures they cook uniformly.
Add butter to the pan and let it melt. Once sizzling, add the mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender and juicy.
Cooking mushrooms on high heat helps them caramelize and enhances their flavor.
Toast the bread slices until golden and lightly butter them if desired.
Toasting the bread just before serving keeps it crisp.
Stir the mustard and sour cream into the mushrooms, seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
Mixing the sauce ingredients off the heat prevents the cream from curdling.
Pile the creamy mushroom mixture onto the toasted bread slices.
Serve immediately to enjoy the toast at its best texture.
Sprinkle fresh chives over the top and serve warm.
Adding fresh herbs at the end preserves their vibrant flavor and color.
