Mushroom toast with caviar and parsley on white plate

The Ingredients

Serves 2

  • 2 thick slices sourdough
  • 200g mixed wild mushrooms
  • 30g unsalted butter
  • 2 garlic cloves, finely sliced
  • 1 small shallot, finely diced
  • 1 tbsp finely chopped flat-leaf parsley
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 25g Royal Oscietra
  • Sea salt and black pepper

The Method

1. Brush mushrooms gently. Slice large ones, leave small whole.

2. Toast sourdough deep golden.

3. Heat butter in wide pan over high heat. Add mushrooms in single layer. Don't move 90 seconds.

4. Toss. Add shallot. Cook 3 minutes until golden.

5. Add garlic. Cook 30 seconds. Add lemon juice. Take off heat.

6. Pile mushrooms on warm toast. Wait 30 seconds.

7. Top each with 12g caviar. Scatter parsley. Crack pepper. Serve immediately.

Tips

Brush, don't wash. Wet mushrooms steam.

High heat for golden. Low heat releases water.

Cool before caviar. Above 60C ruins pearls.

Sourdough toasted dark.

Variations and Pairings

With truffle: Shave fresh Périgord Black Truffle on top.

With egg: Add a poached egg between mushrooms and caviar.

Wine pairing: A Chablis or aged Pinot Noir.
