If you’ve been following my blog, you know that I’m all about cooking quick, rustic dishes using whatever I have in my kitchen with only a handful of ingredients. This dish is so easy and delicious, it’s a simple pleasure of mine and I like to make it for myself as a quick lunch or a savory snack for two. I could seriously eat this everyday!
The possibilities are endless with the ingredients, as long as you have mushrooms, herbs and a few slices of bread. Any combination of mushrooms would work. I used a dried medley of crimini, chanterelle, porcini, shiitake, maitake and oyster mushrooms which I use often in my recipes. I also added some cream for a little sauce, but it’s not necessary.
