User friendly recipe: yellow oyster mushrooms on brie toast by food52

Ingredients

  • 7 ounces Yellow Oyster Mushrooms
  • 2 cloves Garlic (crushed)
  • 4 Sprigs of Fresh Thyme
  • 4 Slices of Thick-Crusted Bread (toasted)
  • 3 tablespoons Butter
  • 4 ounces of Good-Quality Brie Cheese (like Delice De Bourgogne)
  • 1 tablespoon White Wine (optional)

Method

  • Heat a large nonstick pan over medium-high heat, when nice and hot add the butter, mushrooms and salt. Cook for 2 minutes, stir and add the garlic scapes and the wine (if using). Cook for 1-2 additional minutes until the edges of the mushrooms turn golden brown. Add thyme leaves and set aside.
  • Heat the broiler. Cut the Brie cheese into about 1/4-inch (5-6 mm) slices. Top the toasts with the Brie and 1/4 of the mushroom mixture. Arrange the toasts on a baking sheet and place them under the broiler. Bake for 1-2 minutes, or until the Brie has slightly melted and has browned on the edges. Since ovens vary, check toasts often or you might end up with totally melted or burnt toasts.
