Winter foods give me all the feels. There is something so cozy about eating something warm and earthy + bread.
Bread is EVERYTHING.
When I first met Justin, he hated mushrooms. His grandma used to make spaghetti and put the canned mushrooms in the sauce and it like scared him lol.
When we were dating, I would add mushrooms into things here and there to see if he would notice. He finally decided he liked the flavor just not the texture. I then started to buy beefier mushrooms like shiitakes and trumpets which he loved! And, like, thank god, because now I can cook them at home!
Now that I’m a mommy and am going back to work soon, I wanted to create a quick, but flavorful weeknight dinner so that there is plenty of time to put Rahi to bed and still have adult time.
One of my favorite dishes as a kid was beans on toast (recipe coming soon). It was such an easy weeknight dinner to pull together. This time, I subbed the beans for mushrooms added some herbs and a little crème fraiche. Toast the bread, make a little side salad and dinner is done! The beefier mushrooms not only taste better but keep you full – also, bread, duh. Crusty sourdough or a thick country style to be specific.
What’s better than things in toast, right?
Happy Monday!

What a great and easy to make recipe! Your photos make the dish look so tasty. Does it come out different if you use Shitake vs. trumpet mushrooms?
It will come out the same! Just a different type of mushroom. Trumpets are heartier!
Actually, I am allergic to mushrooms but my sister-in-law and nieces love them. I can try out the recipe for them!
