Sauteed Mushrooms on toast I have recently added a mushroom soup recipe to the blog, which is another favourite if you are a mushroom lover, like me. Mushrooms on toast is a classic British dish, usually served with tea after work or as a light supper. It is perfectly delightful in its simplicity, just sautéed mushrooms with maybe a little onion and parsley, dumped over toast and dug into after a hard day's work. I did play with it a little in this version, which gussies things up with a splash of wine, some crème fraîche and fresh thyme. Add the butter to the pan followed by the mushrooms.
