Step by step recipe

Step 1 - ⌛ 1 hour

Mushrooms on toast, French style : Step 1

Rehydrate 100 g dried morels, and set aside the mushrooms "jus" (juice) you got.

Step 2 - ⌛ 1 min.

Melt 1 onion and 30 g butter in a large pan over medium heat.

Chop 1 onion and cook in this oil-butter mix for 1 minute, then salt and pepper.

Step 3 - ⌛ 30 min.

Add the drained mushrooms, 1 glass dry white wine and 2 or 3 ladles of mushroom water.

Step 6 - ⌛ 6 min.

Heat the serving plates.

Step 7 - ⌛ 3 min.

Mushrooms on toast, French style : Step 7

Place a slice of fried bread on each plate. Tip: cut a hole in the middle of each slice with a cutter. You can then fill it with mushrooms more easily.

Step 8

Divide the mushrooms in their cream sauce between the plates and serve immediately.

Remarks

As you can see from the photos, I used a mixture of wild mushrooms here, but morels are by far the best for this.

And to drink?

A dry white wine, the same as you have used in the recipe. I suggest a wine from the Jura, a Chardonnay or a Chardonnay-Savagnin blend.

Keeping: A few days in the fridge in a sealed container, then reheated to put on the bread at the last minute
