Looking for a quick, light, and tasty supper option? This delightful twist on mushrooms on toast exceeded all expectations. It’s a perfect “clean out the fridge” kind of meal that’s so satisfying, I had to jot it down for future reference.
Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 3 to 4 fresh mushrooms, sliced
- 1/2 cup fat-free cottage cheese
- 1 tablespoon Parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 slice bread
- Margarine (for spreading)
- 2 tomato slices
Instructions:
- In a frypan, preferably cast iron for optimal flavor, heat the extra virgin olive oil over medium heat until shimmering.
- Add the sliced mushrooms to the pan and sautรฉ until golden brown and fragrant, stirring occasionally to ensure even cooking.
- Once the mushrooms are nicely browned, add the fat-free cottage cheese to the pan, stirring gently to incorporate it with the mushrooms.
- Sprinkle the Parmesan cheese evenly over the mushroom and cottage cheese mixture, allowing it to melt and meld with the other ingredients.
- Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting according to your preferences.
- Continue to stir and cook the mixture until the cottage cheese becomes creamy and begins to bubble, approximately 2-3 minutes, ensuring it doesn’t stick to the pan.
- While the mushroom and cheese mixture is bubbling away, toast the bread until it’s crisp and golden brown.
- Lightly spread the toasted bread with a thin layer of margarine for extra flavor and richness.
- Place the tomato slices on top of the margarine-covered toast, arranging them evenly to cover the surface.
- Season the tomatoes with a sprinkle of salt and pepper to enhance their flavor.
- Once the mushroom and cheese mixture is ready, carefully spoon it over the tomato slices, ensuring each slice is generously covered.
- Serve your New Twist for Mushrooms on Toast immediately while it’s hot and the flavors are at their peak.
