Ingredients

• 400 grams chanterelle mushrooms
• 60 grams unsalted butter
• 2 medium shallots
• 2 cloves garlic cloves
• 4 sprigs fresh thyme
• 60 ml dry white wine
• 120 ml heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
• 4 slices crusty bread

Directions

Step 1

Clean the chanterelle mushrooms by brushing off dirt with a soft brush or damp paper towel. Avoid rinsing to preserve their texture and flavor.

Step 2

Dice the shallots finely and mince the garlic cloves. Chop the fresh parsley and set all aside for later use.

Step 3

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and melt half of the butter (30 grams). Add the chanterelle mushrooms in a single layer and sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned and softened. Remove the mushrooms from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, melt the remaining butter. Add the shallots and garlic, cooking for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and softened.

Step 5

Add the sprigs of thyme to the skillet, then pour in the white wine. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes, allowing the alcohol to cook off and the mixture to reduce slightly.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream. Allow the mixture to simmer gently for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly.

Step 7

Return the sautéed chanterelles to the skillet, along with the salt and black pepper. Stir to combine and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

Step 8

Remove the thyme sprigs from the skillet and discard. Sprinkle the dish with fresh parsley for brightness and garnish.

Step 9

Toast the slices of crusty bread until golden and serve alongside the creamy chanterelles. Optionally, spoon the mushroom mixture over the bread for a delicious bite.
