Meaty and aromatic, with so much flavor in every bite, this is the Mushrooms on Toast recipe that is going to have you jumping out of bed excited for breakfast. Great for a special occasion or a long lazy Sunday brunch (breakfast in bed anyone?).
Tips For The Best Mushrooms
I cannot emphasize this enough.
If you don't get the mushrooms super thin, they aren't going to get all caramelized and crispy on the edges and you just won't get the full taste experience.
I mean they will still be delicious, but you really want that little bit of crispiness on the edge.
Trust me.
Use a Mandolin
This is the best way to get your mushrooms super thin.
Just work away at those mushrooms on the thinnest setting.
You will have a huge pile and it will seem like you have way too many to possibly cook, but mushrooms are full of liquid and they shrink so much when cooked.
I Don't Have A Mandolin...Can I Use A Grater?
Yes.
Use the setting which is usually on the side. It will be a slightly thicker cut than you would get from a mandolin but
This is the side of the grater you want to use to get slices thin enough.
Can I Slice The Mushrooms By Hand?
Ummmm
But you will be there all day long and it will be a bit of a pain. I wouldn't recommend it.
If you do go this route then use a super sharp knife and cut as thinly as you possibly can without cutting yourself.
Your mushrooms are going to look almost burnt, but don't worry they don't taste burnt at all!
How To Store Leftover Mushrooms
Store leftover cooked mushrooms in an airtight container in the fridge for a couple of days.
They can be reheated and used again with no problems.
I wouldn't recommend freezing them though as they will get a bit soggy when thawed.
You can also:
- Throw leftovers in your next batch of pasta
- mix them in some mashed potatoes for a bit of a flavor kick or
- throw them on top of a pizza - YUM!
Happy eating!

We just had this for breakfast and it was amazing. I have never cooked mushrooms in this way and was a bit dubious about using the tamari but it worked wonderfully. Definitely adding to my weekend breakfast rotation.
