Toasts with mushrooms and creamy garlic sauce

2 servings

30 minutes

Mushroom toasts with creamy garlic sauce are a delightful dish inspired by Italian culinary traditions. The tender combination of aromatic mushrooms, piquant garlic, and creamy texture creates a rich flavor that perfectly complements crispy white bread toasted to a golden crust. Madeira adds a refined note of depth and a light caramel sweetness to the dish. The finishing touch is fresh basil, which adds a refreshing aroma. These toasts make an excellent option for both morning breakfast and a light dinner with a glass of white wine.
