Instructions:
-
Preheat Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (180°C) to ensure it’s ready when you need it.
-
-
Prepare Bread: Brush both sides of the bread slices with melted butter, ensuring they’re evenly coated. Then, cut each slice in half vertically, followed by slicing each half into three horizontal pieces. Place the prepared bread on a baking sheet and bake for 5-10 minutes, or until they turn golden and crispy.
-
Cook Mushrooms: In a large frying pan, heat olive oil over low heat. Add minced garlic and chopped onion, cooking until the onion turns soft and translucent. Next, add the sliced mushrooms and cook over medium heat for about 5 minutes, allowing them to soften and release their flavors. Season the mushrooms with salt and pepper to taste.
-
Add Sherry: Pour dry sherry into the pan with the mushrooms, infusing them with a rich depth of flavor. Allow the mixture to simmer gently, enhancing the taste profile of the dish.
-
Prepare Sauce: In a separate bowl, blend sour cream and cornflour until smooth. Add this mixture to the pan with the mushrooms, stirring continuously until the sauce thickens and comes to a gentle boil. This creamy sauce will bind the ingredients together, creating a luscious filling for your Mushrooms En Croute.
-
Incorporate Herbs: Once the sauce has thickened, remove the pan from heat and stir in freshly chopped parsley and thyme leaves. These aromatic herbs will infuse the dish with vibrant flavors, adding a fragrant dimension to every bite.
-
Assemble: Allow the mushroom mixture to cool slightly before spreading it generously onto each toasted bread slice (croute). Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the top, ensuring each croute is adorned with a savory layer of cheese.
-
Bake: Arrange the prepared croutes on a baking tray and place them in the preheated oven. Bake for approximately 5 minutes, or until the filling is heated through and the cheese melts to a golden perfection.
-
Serve: Once baked to perfection, remove the Mushrooms En Croute from the oven and serve immediately. Garnish with additional fresh herbs if desired, adding a final flourish of color and flavor to this irresistible dish.
