Herby Yogurt Mushroom Toasts – Recipe!

Print Friendly, PDF & Email

If you are looking for a new breakfast, brunch or appetizer idea — these Herby Yogurt Mushroom Toasts are super easy to put together and taste like a creamy decadent treat, even though they are healthy.

I enjoy a good toast from time to time and using mushrooms as your base can create a tasty meal.  Any type of mushrooms will work in this recipe, but I used Crimini for depth of flavor and ease of piling on top of crunchy bread.  A shallot can be the next best ingredient to build flavor without a pungent bite like garlic, which can be a little much earlier in the day at mealtime.  Fresh soft herbs can be a real flavor enhancer giving the creamy mushroom mixture herbaceous balance and whole milk yogurt offers a nice tang — almost citrus-like – as well as a big dose of protein.

The entire toast can be made in less than 15 minutes in a saucepan, which makes it great early in the morning before a big day, or later with a glass of white wine or bubbles.  You can serve these mushroom toasts slightly warm or room temperature — both are delicious.
