Mushrooms go from plain side to main event in this fun meal.
Ingredients
- 8 flat mushrooms, stems trimmed
- 240g pkt cherry truss tomatoes
- 45g butter, chopped
- 20g (1/4 cup) finely grated parmesan
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh continental parsley
- 3 crusty sourdough bread rolls
- 2 eggs, lightly whisked
- 125ml (1/2 cup) milk
- 2 tablespoons basil pesto
Method
- Step 1Preheat oven to 220°C. Place the mushrooms, stem-side up, and tomatoes in a baking dish. Divide one-third of the butter among the mushrooms. Season with salt and pepper. Bake for 10-15 minutes or until tender.
- Step 2Meanwhile, combine the parmesan and parsley on a large plate. Trim the ends from the bread rolls and cut each roll diagonally into 4 slices. Combine the egg and milk in a large, shallow dish. Soak the bread in the egg mixture, turning, until all the liquid is absorbed.
- Step 3Melt half the remaining butter in a large frying pan over medium heat. Cook half the bread for 2-3 minutes each side or until golden. Add to the parmesan mixture. Toss to lightly coat. Transfer to a plate. Cover with foil to keep warm. Repeat with remaining butter, bread and parmesan mixture. Divide the toast, mushrooms and tomatoes among serving plates. Top with the pesto.
