Mushroom Toast Ingredients

• Mushrooms: I used baby bella mushrooms, but you can use whatever kind you prefer.
• Garlic: Mince one garlic clove.
• Labneh: Labneh is a strained yogurt with a spreadable consistency similar to cream cheese. It’s sometimes called “cheese yogurt.”
• Bread: Toast one slice of sourdough.
• Seasoning: Dukkah is an Egyptian seasoning primarily made of seeds and nuts, like sesame seeds and hazelnuts.
• Olive Oil: Sauté the mushrooms in extra virgin olive oil.
• Salt to season the mushrooms

How to Make Mushroom Toast

2. Assemble the Toast: Spread labneh on your bread, top with mushrooms, and sprinkle with dukkah.

Variations

• Mushrooms: Swap baby bellas with oyster, white button, or portabella mushrooms.
• Cheese: Replace labneh with cream cheese.
• Vegan Mushroom Toast: Swap the labneh with a vegan cream cheese alternative.
• Seasoning: Za’atar, a Middle Eastern spice blend with sesame seeds, sumac, and herbs, may be easier to find at your supermarket than dukkah. You can also use everything bagel seasoning.
