These herby butter mushrooms on toasted sourdough are pure cozy holiday comfort. The mushrooms are sautéed in a mix of butter, garlic, and fresh herbs until golden and fragrant, then spooned over thick slices of sourdough that have been toasted until crisp and warm. A layer of creamy melted Camembert cheese brings everything together, turning a simple bite into something luxuriously rich and irresistible.

To finish, each toast is drizzled with a touch of balsamic glaze for sweetness and sprinkled with chopped chives for freshness and color. The combination of earthy mushrooms, buttery herbs, and melty cheese makes this the kind of appetizer you’ll want to serve on repeat. It’s elegant enough for a holiday gathering but simple enough to make as an afternoon snack with a glass of wine.

1x2x3x

• ▢ 4 slices of sourdough bread
• ▢ Olive oil
• ▢ 2 cups mixed mushrooms I like the variety packs from Trader Joes or Whole Foods

• ▢ 3 tbsp butter
• ▢ Sea salt
• ▢ Pepper
• ▢ Chopped chives for garnish
• ▢ Balsamic glaze
• ▢ 1 round of camembert cheese About 4 slices per each slice of bread

Instructions 

• Coat slices of sourdough in olive oil and cook in a skillet for 2-3 min on one side. Flip and add slices of cheese. Cover and let cook for another 3-4 min or until bread is toasted and cheese is melty.
• Remove from skillet and add in butter. Cut mushrooms into bite sized pieces (if needed) and add to skillet along with herbs. Season with salt and pepper and cook for about 5-7 min until mushrooms and softened and reduced in size. Drizzle with balsamic and remove any herb stems.

Notes

Note: You could also use a baguette for this recipe, but I like to cut slices of sourdough into pieces because I think it can look a little fancy. Either works though!
