Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 250 grams Button mushrooms or cremini mushrooms (sliced)
• 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 240 milliliters Whole milk
• 120 grams Sharp cheddar cheese (grated)
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper (freshly ground)
• 4 slices Thick slices of crusty bread
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Heat 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are golden and all the liquid they release has evaporated. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 additional minute until fragrant. Set the mushrooms aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, melt the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, to create a roux.

Step 4

Gradually whisk in the milk, ensuring there are no lumps. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the mixture starts to thicken.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to low and stir in the grated cheddar cheese, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper. Continue stirring until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce is smooth.

Step 6

Add the sautéed mushrooms back into the cheese sauce, stirring to combine.

Step 7

Toast the slices of bread in a toaster or under a broiler until golden.

Step 8

Spoon the mushroom and cheese mixture generously over each slice of toasted bread.

Step 9

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately.
