    Mushrooms mixed with parmesan, oregano and extra virgin olive oil and served on crusty toasted bread. These simple mushroom toasts make a great, easy and tasty appetizer or snack.

    I love making crostini, crusty char-grilled bread topped with meat, cheese, fish or vegetables. They are great as a snack, for lunch or even served at parties, fuss-free, easy, tasty food. Some of my favourite toppings are pecorino, prosciutto and truffle honey, sausage and stracchino and these mushroom toasts (crostini).

    Mushrooms are something I enjoy all year round but especially at this time of year, nothing more screams fall to me than garlic rubbed mushroom toasts and a big bowl of comforting soup to warm up with on chilly evenings.

    Garlic and herbs are a match made in heaven when it comes to mushrooms. Thyme, oregano and tarragon being my favourite.

    For these mushroom toasts I added dried oregano, olive oil and parmesan because life is just better with cheese, agreed? I also rub the hot toasted bread with a raw garlic clove making sure to get all around the edges, it's gives so much flavour to the crostini.

    How To Make Parmesan Mushroom Toasts

    I first toast some crusty bread on a hot griddle pan. Rub the bread slices with olive oil then toast them on each side until there are charred marks on the bread. Whilst they are still hot rub a garlic clove over one side of the toast all the way to the edges.

    For the mushrooms, simply finely slice them then fry them in a little olive oil. When they start to wilt down add the oregano. Add a good pinch of salt and pepper, I always taste the mushrooms a couple times whilst adding the salt because they always need a little more seasoning than you think.

    Once cooked spoon the mushrooms into a bowl and add freshly grated parmesan. Stir then top the garlic toasts with the mushroom mixture. Serve.
