Mushroom Spread For Toast Recipes

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a large sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add the shallot and cook until translucent, about 1 minute. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring, until they give off their liquid and are golden brown, about 6 minutes. Add the marjoram, garlic and some salt and pepper. Stir and cook for 1 minute more.
• Meanwhile, add the ricotta, Parmesan, lemon zest and juice and salt and pepper to taste to a food processor and process until very smooth.
• Spread the whipped ricotta on the toasted bread. Toss the arugula with salt and pepper. Arrange the mushrooms on the ricotta mixture, then top with the arugula.

Steps:

• Toast the bread, then spread with a little of the cream cheese.
• Meanwhile, heat the oil in a non-stick pan and cook the mushrooms, stirring frequently, until softened. Spoon in the milk, remaining cheese and the mustard. Stir well until coated. Tip onto the toast and top with chives.

Steps:

• Add olive oil to a large, deep skillet over medium heat.

Steps:

• Toast the sourdough bread, cut each slice in half, then set aside. Heat a large frying pan with the olive oil. Fry the prosciutto in the pan for about 2 mins on each side until golden and crisp. Break into large pieces and set aside on some kitchen paper.
• Add the butter to the pan followed by the mushrooms. Cook for 2 mins, then add the garlic and crème fraîche. Cook for 3-5 mins more until the mushrooms are soft and lightly coated in the crème fraîche. Stir through a little parsley. Pile up on the toasts and top with the prosciutto and more parsley.

Steps:

• Heat a wide skillet over high heat and add butter, swirling pan. When butter begins to sizzle, add mushrooms and cook, stirring, until lightly browned, 6 to 8 minutes.

Steps:

• Wipe any dirt from the mushrooms with a damp cloth or paper towel.
• Cut off any tough stems; half smaller mushrooms and quarter larger ones to make approximate even sizes.
• Heat butter and 1 Tbsp of the oil in a 10-12 inch deep saute pan over medium-high heat.
• Add the mushrooms and a pinch of salt and cook, stirring often, for 8-10 minutes, until any liquid has evaporated. If the mushrooms become too dry add a drizzle of oil.
• Transfer mushrooms to a cutting board, let cool a few minutes, and chop coarsely.
• Wipe out the pan and set over medium heat with 1 Tbsp olive oil.
• Add shallots, thyme and a pinch of salt and stir for a minute or two until shallots are tender and slightly golden.
• Return the mushrooms to the pan and stir in the creme fraiche to heat through without bringing to a simmer.
• Remove from the heat and stir in parsley and more salt and black pepper to taste.
• Note: If you are making the mushrooms in advance stir in only 1/4 cup of the creme fraiche now and add the other 1/4 cup when reheating later.
• Just before serving position oven rack 6 inches below the broiler element and heat broiler.
• Place baguette slices on a baking sheet and brush with olive oil; Broil for a minute or two to toast.
• Spread warm mushroom mixture over toasts and sprinkle on the Parmigiano-Reggiano.
