[feast_advanced_jump_to]Ingredients to make Garlic Mushrooms on Toast
- Olive Oil – is used to cook the mushrooms and helps prevent them from sticking to the pan.
- Garlic Clove – is the hero ingredient in this recipe! It adds such a delicious flavour to the mushrooms.
- Chestnut Mushrooms – are my favourite for this recipe. They have better flavour than the white mushrooms and make this dish shine with colour.
- Dried Sage – adds a nice, subtle, citrus and pine flavour.
- Bread – I use gluten-free (due to allergies) but any bread will work for your toast
See recipe card at the bottom of this page for quantities.
How to make Garlic Mushrooms on Toast
Firstly, roughly slice the mushrooms and garlic.
Heat a small pan with some olive oil and add the mushrooms and garlic. Fry for 1-2 minutes.
Add the dried seasonings and fry for another five minutes, stirring occasionally.
Place your bread slices in a toaster or on a griddle pan and top with the garlic mushrooms.
Hint: I like to use the griddle pan as it gives nice charr lines to the toast.
Substitutions
- Olive Oil – Any oil will work to fry up the mushrooms and garlic for this delicious garlic mushrooms recipe. If you aren’t vegan and want to try garlic butter mushrooms, substitute butter for the olive oil.
- Garlic Cloves – If you don’t have fresh garlic, you could use garlic powder, although the flavour won’t be as strong as if you were to use fresh garlic
- Chestnut Mushrooms – While chestnut mushrooms are my preferred mushroom for this creamy mushroom toast, you could also use cremini mushrooms, white button mushrooms, baby portobello, baby bella, etc.
- Toast – I use gluten-free bread for this creamy mushrooms on toast recipe, but if you aren’t limited on breads, try sourdough bread or another rustic bread.
Variations
- Spicy – Add some chilli flakes into the garlic mushrooms sauce for a nice spicy kick. You could also top with freshly chopped chilis for that added spice! If you enjoy spice, check out my Warming Pasta recipe!
- Deluxe – The is the perfect starter if you have dinner guests! There are a few ways you could level up this hearty mushroom dish. Add some gluten-free bread crumbs into the sauce for a variation on breaded garlic mushrooms. Add some fresh thyme or other fresh herbs on top for a more aesthetically pleasing look. Put some vegan cream cheese or mashed avocado on your slices of bread before covering with the sauteed mushrooms for a nice addition.
- Kid friendly – Sometimes, just letting the kids help to make the dish can help them be more open to trying something new! You could also have it to the side or sprinkle some vegan cheese on top to make it a little more kid-friendly. If you have children, definitely check out my 5 Ingredient Chocolate Flapjacks, it’s a winner of a recipe they’ll love to get involved with!

FAQ’s
Garlic mushrooms are great on toast. They also go well over potatoes or meat. Garlic mushrooms can even be enjoyed on their own!
The first important tip is to make sure the mushrooms are in a single layer and that they have some separation from one another. Then allow them to cook without moving them for 3-4 minutes. This will allow them to crisp up. Then mix them around and let all sides cook as they turn a nice golden brown.
When you’ve purchased mushrooms at the grocery store, you should not wash them. Instead, you can use a dry cloth or toothbrush to wipe off any dirt residue that may remain on them. Washing them can cause discolouration. Also, mushrooms don’t dry well and won’t cook as nicely.
Mushrooms have all sorts of great health benefits! They are full of vitamins and nutrients in addition to helping our immune systems! Garlic has antioxidants and may help prevent cancer, alzheimer’s, and dementia!
