Cuisine: Mediterranean
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 4 slices of bread
- 200g mushrooms, sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup hummus
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare ingredients: Clean and slice mushrooms thinly. Mince garlic cloves finely. Set aside fresh parsley for garnishing.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Ensure the pan is hot before adding mushrooms.
- Add sliced mushrooms to the skillet, spreading them in a single layer. Allow mushrooms to cook without stirring for 2-3 minutes to develop golden brown edges.
- Add minced garlic to the mushrooms, stirring gently. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until mushrooms are tender and garlic is fragrant.
- While mushrooms are cooking, toast bread slices until golden brown and crispy. Use a toaster or grill pan for best results.
- Spread a generous layer of hummus evenly across each toasted bread slice, creating a smooth base.
- Top the hummus-covered toast with the sautéed garlic mushrooms, distributing them equally.
- Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for added color and flavor.
- Serve immediately while toast is crisp and mushrooms are warm. Can be enjoyed as a quick breakfast, light lunch, or appetizer.
Tips
- Choose the Right Bread: Opt for a hearty bread like sourdough or whole grain for added flavor and texture. The sturdiness of the bread will hold up well against the toppings.
- Get Your Pan Hot: Ensure your skillet is hot before adding the mushrooms. This helps achieve a beautiful golden-brown sear, enhancing their flavor.
- Don’t Overcrowd the Pan: Spread the mushrooms in a single layer to allow them to brown properly. If your skillet is too crowded, they will steam instead of sauté.
- Customize Your Hummus: Feel free to experiment with different flavors of hummus—roasted red pepper, garlic, or spicy harissa can add a unique twist to your toast.
- Garnish Generously: Fresh parsley not only adds a pop of color but also enhances the dish's freshness. Don’t skip this step for that extra touch!
- Serve Immediately: Enjoy this dish right after assembling to keep the toast crispy and the mushrooms warm. It's best served fresh!
