Creamy Mushrooms on Toast
This is mushrooms savoyard, a French dish from that country's alpine region. Creamy, cheesy and easy, this works with most kinds of mushrooms.
Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 3 slices bacon
- 1 yellow onion, minced (2 cups)
- 1 1/2 pounds fresh mushrooms, chopped if large
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1/4 pound grated Gruyere cheese (see above for alternate cheeses)
- 1/3 to 1/2 cup sour cream or heavy cream, or a mix of both
- 1/4 cup minced parsley
- black pepper to taste
- 8 slices bread, toasted
Instructions
- Cook the bacon in a pan over medium heat. Remove when crispy and chop. Maybe eat a piece.
- Add the minced onion and mushrooms and turn the heat to medium-high. Sauté until browned, adding butter if need be. This should take a solid 8 to 10 minutes.
- Stir in the cheese, and, when it's melted and stirred in, do the same for the cream and/or sour cream. Drop the heat to medium-low and cook gently with a cover on the pan for another 20 minutes or so. Mix in the parsley and black pepper, and serve on toast.
Notes
Note that any mushrooms you can fry in butter work here.
