Honey, Shroomy Toast

This makes for a super easy and delicious lunch. Every time I make this I impress myself with how little effort it takes and how fancy it tastes.

What you’ll need:

  • a very delicious slice of bread (I suggest sourdough but focaccia or a crusty french bread would work great too)

  • handful of mushrooms of your choice (love using shiitake for this but in this photo I have button)

  • extra virgin olive oil

  • pine nuts (1/3 cup or so)

  • honey (1 tbsp)

  • rosemary (could use other herbs or even spices instead but this works great)

  • something to cut the sweetness! I like a tbsp of balsamic or dijon mustard but even a lemon squeeze would work

  • sea salt flakes

What to do:

  • sauté the mushrooms in a little olive oil with a pinch of salt and rosemary over medium heat until cooked through

  • combine pine nuts, 3 tablespoons (I just eyeball it, no need to be exact) of olive oil, a pinch of rosemary, honey, balsamic and a pinch of salt all in a small bowl

  • using a mortar, grind up the pine nuts and mix all the ingredients together

  • broil the bread in the oven for a few minutes to get it nice and crispy

  • take bread out of the oven, top with the pine nut/honey mixture and finish it off with the mushrooms and voila!

    Enjoy!!
