    Wild Mushroom Toasts

    Wild Mushroom Toasts

    This post may contain affiliate links.

    These Wild Mushroom Toasts are one of the four dishes I prepared recently at myΒ live cooking demonstration at west elm. Β Chanterelles, king eryngiis, oyster mushrooms and shiitakes are coarsely chopped then cooked with butter, shallots, white wine and heavy cream. Β Spoon this mixture atop freshly baked crostini then finish with a sprinkling of chive. Β These earthy, creamy bites make a perfect appetizer for a casual cocktail party. Β The silkiness of the mushrooms paired with the crunchiness of the crostini provide quite the satisfying textural contrast. Β If you can’t find the selection of mixed wild mushrooms described below, feel free to experiment with different combinations. Β Just use whatever you can find. Β I would, however, recommend that you don’t use white button mushrooms. Β Creminis are usually just as accessible andΒ affordableΒ and they taste much better when caramelized. Β Continue reading for the recipe. Β AND I will also be announcing the winners of last week’s Home Distiller’s Handbook giveaway.

    Congratulations! Β I will be contacting each of you via email to coordinate sending out the books. Β If you have not responded by 11:59pm on Friday, December 16, I will need to select another winner. Β Much thanks to all who participated. Β PS. Β I will be hosting anotherΒ cookbook giveaway early next week, so be sure to check back.

    Servings 8 servings

    Ingredients
      

    • 1/2 pound wild mushrooms (such as king eryngiis, creminis, shiitakes, oysters or chanterelles)
    • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
    • 1 large shallot, chopped
    • 2 tablespoons dry white wine
    • 1/4 cup heavy cream
    • Kosher salt
    • Freshly ground black pepper
    • Crostini, for serving
    • 1 tablespoon fresh chopped chives
    • Flaky sea salt, for garnish

    Instructions
     

    • Prepare the mushrooms. Wipe excess dirt from the mushrooms with a damp cloth or paper towel. Roughly chop into 1/2-inch to 1/4-inch pieces.
    • Cook the mushrooms. Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium high heat. Add shallots and cook until soft (about 3 minutes). Add mushrooms and cook, stirring frequently, for about 5 minutes. Add white wine, reduce heat to medium, cover and cook for 5 minutes. Uncover the pot and continue to cook until most of the liquid is gone, stirring occasionally (about 2 more minutes). Add cream, stirring to combine. Cook until the mixture thickens up a bit (about 2 minutes). Season to taste with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.
    • Assemble and serve. Top each crostini with a spoonful of mushroom mixture. Sprinkle with chives and flaky sea salt then serve.
