Mushrooms on Toast

Creamed Mushrooms on Toast: One of my favorite simple breakfasts. Good hearty mushrooms, simply sauteed in olive oil with a few spices and simmered in a little cream. Piled onto sturdy toast with a few eggs! | macheesmo.com

Sauteed mushrooms in a light cream sauce served on garlic bread with fried eggs. Pretty much the perfect breakfast.

Ingredients 

  • 8-10 ounces various mushrooms, I like a mix of crimini and shiitake
  • 3 Tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, one for the toast
  • 1 Tablespoon fresh thyme
  • ¼ Cup heavy cream
  • Pinch of red pepper flakes, optional
  • Salt and pepper
  • 4 slices toast
  • 4 large eggs, fried over easy or poached

Instructions

  • Gently rinse mushrooms or brush off dirt.  Slice them thick.
  • Add olive oil to a large skillet over medium-high heat.  Add mushrooms and cook without turning for a few minutes to get a nice sear on the mushrooms.  Then stir and continue to cook for another few minutes until they are just turning soft.
  • Add garlic, thyme, and red pepper flakes to mushrooms and continue to cook until spices are fragrant, another minute probably.
  • Turn heat down to low and add cream.  Also season with a pinch of salt and pepper.  Stir together for another minute until cream thickens into a nice light sauce.
  • Toast bread and rub with a clove of garlic.
  • Remove mushrooms from pan and crack in eggs.  Fry eggs (over-easy is recommended).
  • Spoon mushrooms over toast and serve with an egg on top.  Garnish with red pepper flakes and thyme.
