Description
A delicious, artisanal Lemony Mushroom Mascarpone Toast featuring meaty sautéed mushrooms, creamy butter beans, and a zesty balsamic glaze. The perfect 35-minute gourmet brunch.
Ingredients
-
8 slices sourdough bread
-
1 lb mixed mushrooms
-
1 can butter beans, rinsed
-
8 oz mascarpone cheese
-
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
-
1 lemon (juice and zest)
-
1/4 cup olive oil
-
Shallot, garlic, dill, and chives
Instructions
-
Toast sourdough in a skillet with olive oil until golden.
-
Sauté mushrooms in oil until browned. Add shallots and cook until soft.
-
Stir in butter beans and balsamic vinegar. Simmer until the glaze thickens.
-
Stir in lemon juice, zest, red pepper flakes, and fresh herbs.
-
Spread mascarpone on the toast and top with the mushroom mixture.
-
Garnish with black pepper and extra herbs. Serve warm.
Notes
-
To keep the mushrooms from becoming rubbery, avoid salting them until they have developed a golden-brown sear.
-
Use a high-quality balsamic vinegar of Modena for the best syrupy reduction.
-
This dish pairs beautifully with a fresh arugula salad or a glass of chilled sparkling water with lemon.
