FAQ
Can I use different types of mushrooms?
Yes, button, shiitake, or oyster mushrooms work well. Adjust cooking time slightly as some varieties release more moisture than others.
What if I don't have white wine?
Substitute with chicken or vegetable broth, or simply skip it. The wine adds depth but isn't essential for the dish's success.
How long will leftovers keep?
Assembled toast doesn't store well, but cooked mushroom mixture keeps refrigerated for 3 days and can be reheated for fresh toast.
