Ingredients

• 4 slices Bread slices (sourdough or crusty bread)
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 250 grams Mushrooms (button, cremini or a mix), sliced
• 2 tablespoons Brandy
• 120 milliliters Heavy cream
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
• 100 grams Cream cheese
• 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon Fresh chives, finely chopped
• 30 grams Grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Place the bread slices on the prepared baking sheet. Brush each slice lightly with olive oil and set aside.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, combine cream cheese, parsley, chives, and Parmesan cheese. Mix until smooth and evenly combined.

Step 4

Spread the herby cheese mixture evenly over the tops of the bread slices. Bake in the oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese mixture is bubbly and the bread is lightly golden.

Step 5

While the toasts are baking, heat butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 6

Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and sauté for 6-8 minutes, or until they release their moisture and begin to brown.

Step 7

Deglaze the skillet by adding the brandy. Stir and let it cook for about 1 minute, allowing the alcohol to evaporate.

Step 8

Reduce the heat to low and add the heavy cream. Stir until the sauce thickens slightly, about 2-3 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Step 9

Remove the herby cheese toasts from the oven and transfer them to serving plates.

Step 10

Spoon the warm brandy creamed mushrooms over the toasts, dividing them evenly.

Step 11

Garnish with additional chopped parsley or chives if desired, and serve immediately.
