- Creamy Mushrooms On Toast
Did you know mushrooms are good for you ? Mushrooms on toast is one of my favourite snacks and it seems there’s more to mushrooms than simply wonderful flavours. A source of vitamins B, potassium, selenium and (if exposed to light) vitamin D, means I can eat as many mushrooms on toast as I like 🙂
This recipe is quick, easy and delicious – served any time of the day it makes a great breakfast, lunch or teatime treat. The creamy mushroom topping is so versatile, you can combine it with pasta, steak or chicken or even serve it with toast as a starter.
Try making your toast with home made bread (I’ve used my tasty Home Made Multigrain Loaf) or if not, a good quality toaster loaf or sourdough will work well.
