Cheesy Sautéed Mushrooms on Toast
If you’re a fan of mushrooms then this recipe is a must-have! It will definitely transform your breakfast! Mushrooms on toast was one of the first occasions I’ve ever tried mushrooms. It was a splendid breakfast which my mom prepared for the family. I didn’t eat mushrooms very often before this dish, but loving this dish made me more open-minded to cooking with mushrooms more frequently! The mushrooms are so flavourful with garlic and onions! I’m adding a touch of cheddar cheese to really enhance those flavours! This dish doesn’t require much effort - you just gotta let those mushrooms sauté on the pan and then once you’ve added the cream, let the magic happen by letting the cream thicken up and absorb into your garlicky mushrooms!
What Mushrooms Should I Use?
In this recipe, I’m using cremini mushrooms. Cremini mushrooms are brown mushrooms, also known as “baby bella” or “baby portobello” mushrooms. Cremini mushrooms are budget-friendly and are easily found at grocery stores! These are typically my go-to choice of mushrooms in my cooking, since they are simply tasty and easy to find. You may also know these as brown mushrooms, although white button mushrooms will do just as well.
Use your favourite kind of mushrooms and you’re sure to have a great meal!
The Best Bread for Creamy Mushrooms on Toast
You could use pretty much any type of bread to serve these incredibly creamy mushrooms! Here, I used country round bread. I would recommend you use a thick-sliced bread so that it can hold the mushrooms well without your slice drooping or getting soggy. Here are some breads that I recommend you serve with:
Ciabatta
Baguette
Rye bread
Sourdough
If you’ve served this with any other kind of bread be sure to let me know! I’d love to know what else works and try different options!
Tips for a Delicious Creamy Mushrooms on Toast
Saute the onions really well until soft, this will make them really sweet and tasty.
Let mushrooms cook gently and let all of the water cook out before adding cream.
Simmer the cream until it thickens for the best creamy texture over the toast.
Broil the toast until cheese just melts. If you don’t have a broiled, I would suggest to grate the cheese very fine and let the residual heat from the mushrooms melt the cheese

How to Make Easy Sautéed Mushrooms on Toast
Clean any dirt from the mushrooms using a kitchen towel or paper towel.
Slice mushrooms lengthwise, finely chop the onion and mince garlic.
Melt butter in a pan on medium heat.
Add onions, cook and stir until they soften and turn light golden brown.
Add in garlic, mix well and cook until the rawness is cooked off.
Add the mushrooms and stir well, season with salt and pepper and cook until most of the water has cooked off from the mushrooms.
Pour in the cream and bring it to a simmer.
Once your cream is simmering, stir from time to time and cook until cream thickens. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Place two slices of bread onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Pour the mushroom mixture evenly over the bread. Grate some cheese on top.
Turn on the broiler and broil the toast until the cheese is molten, about 30 seconds to 2 minutes.
Take the baking tray out of the broiler. Transfer the toasts to a place and garnish with a few basil leaves. Serve hot and enjoy!
