Garlicky Mushroom Toast Cups Recipes

MUSHROOM TOAST CUPS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Use a small cookie cutter to cut rounds out of the bread. Press the rounds into ungreased mini muffin tins, and bake for 8 or 9 minutes until golden; keep a close watch on them, as they bake fast. Turn out bread cups to cool.
• Heat butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Stir in the mushrooms and onions, and cook until soft, about 8 minutes. Season with cayenne pepper, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and chopped parsley. Gradually stir in half-and-half, and sprinkle with a bit of flour until mixture gets thick.
• Fill bread cups with mushroom mixture, top each with a sprinkle of Parmesan, and place on a lightly greased baking sheet. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Stir in garlic, and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add mushrooms, and continue cooking until softened and lightly browned, 4 to 6 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, then set aside to cool.
• Meanwhile, spread softened butter onto one side of each slice of bread. Press the buttered sides into a muffin tin; set aside.
• Stir together eggs and cream, then stir in the cooled mushroom mixture. Divide this custard equally among the toast cups. Sprinkle the tops with grated Parmesan cheese.
• Bake in preheated oven until egg mixture sets, and tops are golden brown, about 20 minutes.

MOREL MUSHROOM SOUP

Steps:

• Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat. Cook mushrooms in butter in batches, turning occasionally, until golden brown, about 10 minutes. Add a portion of the garlic at the end of each batch and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Remove mushroom mixture to a plate.
• Add onion to the pot. Cook and stir until onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Add mushroom mixture, thyme, and parsley. Pour wine into the pot and cook while scraping the browned bits of food off the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon, about 3 minutes.
• Sprinkle flour over the mixture and stir until well incorporated. Add broth, bouillon, salt, and pepper and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 10 minutes.
• Stir in cream and enough milk to reach desired thickness. Cook until heated through.
