Instructions

1 ✓

Clean the mushrooms (do not soak!), and cut into thin slices. Finely chop 2 cloves of garlic, leave one whole.

Tip: Dry cleaning the mushrooms is key for browning.
2 ✓

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Toss in the mushrooms.

Tip: Do not salt at the beginning! Salt draws out moisture, and the mushrooms will release liquid. Fry until golden brown.
3 ✓

When the mushrooms are nicely browned, add the chopped garlic and fry for another 1 minute.

Tip: Add the garlic at the end, as it burns much sooner than the mushrooms.
4 ✓

Remove from heat, season with salt and pepper, and stir in the finely chopped parsley.

Tip: The heat of the hot mushrooms is just enough to release the aromas of the parsley.
5 ✓

Slice the bread diagonally, brush thinly with oil, and toast in a frying pan or in the oven.

Tip: Cutting diagonally gives you a larger surface for the topping.
6 ✓

Rub the still hot, crispy bread slices with the whole garlic clove.

Tip: The rough surface of the bread acts as a natural grater, imparting a delicate garlic aroma that isn't overpowering.
7 ✓

Pile the mushrooms onto the bread and sprinkle with Parmesan. Serve immediately.

Tip: A drop of fresh lemon juice on the mushrooms highlights the flavours even more.

Recipe FAQ

What mushrooms should I use?
Chestnut mushrooms are tastier than white buttons, but wild mushrooms (porcini, chanterelle) make it a real gourmet treat.
Can it be prepared ahead?
You can make the mushroom ragout in advance, but only put it on the bread before serving, otherwise it will go soggy.
Why not wash the mushrooms?
Because they soak up water and will steam, not fry. Clean with a brush or kitchen paper instead.
