A cozy café-style toast topped with herby basil pesto, savory sautéed mushrooms, and creamy burrata, perfect for an easy yet indulgent breakfast, brunch, or light meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 thick slices rustic bread (about 60 g each)
- 200 g fresh mushrooms, sliced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 small garlic clove, finely minced
- 4 tablespoons prepared basil pesto
- 150 g burrata cheese, gently torn
- 0.5 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
Instructions
- Toast the bread slices until golden and crisp, then set aside.
- Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
- Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for 6 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they release their moisture and become golden.
- Stir in the minced garlic, salt, and black pepper, and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Spread an even layer of basil pesto over each slice of toasted bread.
- Spoon the warm mushrooms on top of the pesto.
- Gently tear the burrata cheese and place it over the mushrooms.
- Serve immediately while warm and creamy.
Notes
- Use thick, sturdy bread to prevent the toast from becoming soggy.
- Cook mushrooms in a single layer to achieve better browning.
- For extra flavor, add a light crack of black pepper just before serving.
