Creator Notes
I’m entirely obsessed on mushrooms on toast. I love all the pieces about it, the meaty flavor of the mushrooms, the sturdy toast, the ability the juices sop into the toast and put it soggy. I have not got an precise recipe, I in overall staunch put a make of mushroom ragout and effect it on high of toast – customarily with a poached egg, customarily with out – but here’s my approximation of what I did the final time I made it. It works with most to any extent additional or much less mushrooms. It is clearly amazing with morels or other wild mushrooms but additionally completely tasty with humble button mushrooms. – fiveandspice —fiveandspice
