Prep Time: 15 min
Cook Time: 25 - 30 Min

Yields: 2 Toasties

What You Need

• 2 Pieces Sourdough Bread
• EVOO
• 1 Tbsp. Unsalted Butter
• 1/4 Tsp. + Red Pepper Flakes
• Few Sprigs Fresh Thyme
• 1 large clove Garlic, crushed & minced
• 1 Shallot, diced
• 227g Cremini Mushrooms, sliced
• 1/3 C White Wine ( I used Pinot Grigio)
• Old Cheddar, shredded (approx 1/2 C +)
• Himalayan Salt & Cracked Pepper
• Pea Shoots for Garnish

Directions

• Begin heating the butter, good splash of EVOO, garlic, pepper flakes, and thyme, in a small non-stick skillet set to just below medium heat. Once heated, stir and cook about 1 minute or so before adding the shallots and a good pinch of both salt & pepper. Let the shallots cook about 5 minutes before adding the mushrooms and another good pinch of both salt and pepper. Stir and cook the mushrooms for 12 - 15 minutes until tender.
• Pour in the wine and season again with a pinch of salt. Cook until the wine has almost completely cooked off, about 5 minutes. Taste and season with salt if needed.​

​

• Heat a grill pan and drizzle both sides of your bread with EVOO. Grill until golden brown and toasty on both sides.
• Heat your oven to BROIL 500 F / High
• Get your grilled bread on to a parchment lined baking sheet and split the cooked mushrooms between both toasts. Top with shredded cheddar (more if desired) and place under the broiler until melty. This should take about 2 minutes.
• Remove and set on to a wire cooling rack Transfer the toasts to your serving plate, sprinkle with pep flakes and garnish with shoots. ENJOY!
