You can grab all of these ingredients during your normal shopping trip. Nothing too fancy or hard to find. I love using different types of mushrooms for a more complex flavor.

This Creamy Mushroom Toast gets its amazing taste from the combination of earthy mushrooms and creamy sauce. The garlic and Parmesan cheese add a savory depth that takes it to the next level.

Here’s my secret to cooking Creamy Mushroom Toast. A splash of lemon juice at the end really brightens everything up. It cuts through the richness of the cream and adds a touch of zing.

For a busy weeknight shortcut, you can buy pre-sliced mushrooms. They are located right in the produce section! It saves a ton of time and effort. Plus, you are that much closer to enjoying your delicious Creamy Mushroom Toast.

To keep your mushrooms fresh, store them in a paper bag in the refrigerator. Avoid plastic bags, as they can trap moisture and cause the mushrooms to spoil quickly.

I love adding extra garlic to my family’s Creamy Mushroom Toast for that extra kick. Feel free to adjust the amount to your liking. I’m all about that garlic goodness! 🔥

Let’s Make Some!

This is my favorite part of making Creamy Mushroom Toast – watch the delicious magic happen! It’s so satisfying to see simple ingredients transform into something so flavorful and comforting.

  1. First, melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook until they are softened and lightly browned. This usually takes about 8-10 minutes.
  2. Next, add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for another minute until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic, as it can become bitter. This is where the magic starts happening!
  3. Pour in the white wine and let it simmer for a few minutes, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. The wine adds a depth of flavor that is just divine.
  4. Stir in the heavy cream and Parmesan cheese. Bring to a simmer and cook until the sauce has thickened slightly. This usually takes about 5-7 minutes. Your Creamy Mushroom Toast should smell absolutely incredible right now!
  5. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Don’t be afraid to season generously! The salt and pepper really bring out the flavors of the mushrooms and cream.
  6. Stir in the chopped parsley. It adds a pop of freshness and color to the dish. I love using fresh herbs in my cooking!
  7. Spoon the creamy mushroom mixture over the toasted bread slices. Serve immediately and enjoy!
