Get the Recipe: Tomato and Cheese Mushroom Toast
This tomato and cheese mushroom toast is an open-faced sandwich that makes a fabulous meatless and vegetable-rich lunch or dinner.
Ingredients
- 2 slices sourdough bread, or bread of your choice
- 1 large beefsteak tomato, sliced
- olive oil, for drizzling
- 8 oz white or cremini mushrooms, sliced (standard tray)
- 1-2 teaspoons butter, optional
- Pinch minced garlic, optional
- 1/4-1/3 cup onion, sliced
- 3 slices cheddar cheese, or cheese of your choice (or shredded cheese)
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
Instructions
- Add the sliced mushrooms to a dry, non-stick skillet over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally until golden. Season with a bit of salt and pepper and if using, stir in the butter and/or garlic once cooked. Remove to a bowl.
- In the same skillet, add a splash of cooking oil and add the onions. Cook over medium heat, stirring, until softened and browned. Remove to the bowl with the mushrooms.
- Heat the oven broiler. Place the bread slices onto a baking sheet. Toast the bread under the broiler, ON BOTH SIDES, until golden. Remove from the oven but leave the broiler on.
- Assemble the sandwiches by first adding a layer of sliced tomatoes. Season with a bit of salt and pepper and drizzle with some olive oil. Top the tomatoes with the mushroom and onion mixture. Finally, top with sliced cheese.
- Adjust the oven rack to about 6-inches from the broiler (usually the 2nd rung from the top). Place the assembled sandwiches under the broiler and cook until warmed and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Notes
-
- Be sure to toast the bread well on both sides, so it won't get soggy when topped with the moist tomatoes.
-
- Be sure to season the tomatoes and the mushrooms as you cook them, to really bring out all the great flavours.
-
- I kept the cheese topping thinner for photographing, so the ingredients underneath could be seen. Feel free to add more cheese if you like!
