Serves: 4
Serving Size: 2 toast triangles and 2 tablespoons mushroom filling
per serving
Cooking spray
1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms, such as button, shiitake, wood ear, oyster, OR
a combination, stems removed from shiitakes
2 medium garlic cloves, minced
1 Tbsp minced fresh thyme
1 Tbsp water
1/8 tsp pepper
4 very thin slices whole-wheat bread, halved diagonally
2 Tbsp shredded or grated Parmesan cheese
Preheat the broiler.
Lightly spray a medium skillet with cooking spray. Cook the mushrooms
and garlic over medium-high heat for 2 minutes, stirring frequently.
Stir in the thyme, water, and pepper. Cook for 2 minutes, or until
the mushrooms are tender, stirring frequently.
Arrange the bread triangles in a single layer on a baking sheet. Broil
about 4 inches from the heat for about 1 minute, or until the tops are
toasted. Turn over. Broil for about 1 minute, or until toasted. Remove
from the oven. Spoon the mushroom mixture over each triangle. Sprinkle
with the Parmesan. Broil for about 1 minute, or until the Parmesan is
melted. Serve hot or warm.
Cook's Tip:
To clean mushrooms, use a mushroom brush or wipe them with a damp
cloth or paper towels. Never soak them in water, because they are
very absorbent and may become mushy.
