Ingredients

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. 1

    Stir yogurt and mustard together and keep chilled while you cook.

  2. 2

    Heat half the oil in a wide pan over medium-high heat. Cook half the mushrooms in one layer until browned; repeat with the rest.

  3. 3

    Return all mushrooms to the pan, add thyme, pepper, and salt, and toss for 1 minute.

  4. 4

    Toast the bread until crisp, then rub one side lightly with the cut garlic.

  5. 5

    Spread with mustard yogurt and top immediately with the hot mushrooms.

Cooking Tips

  • Do not salt mushrooms at the start; early salt encourages them to release water.
  • Use a wide pan and leave space between slices for deeper browning.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I prepare mushroom and thyme breakfast toast ahead?

Prepare components in advance where practical, but use the final cooking and resting steps for the best texture. Cool perishable ingredients promptly and store them covered in the refrigerator.

How should I adjust the seasoning?

Do not salt mushrooms at the start; early salt encourages them to release water. Taste near the end and make small adjustments rather than adding a large amount at once.
