Brandy Creamed Mushrooms on Herby Cheese Toast image

I made these with bits and bobs from the fridge & the pantry; I had half a baguette left & some Boursin Herb & Garlic cream cheese plus a few mushrooms and a bit of creme fraiche. The Cognac was an inspirational afterthought, and it worked a treat!!! I am now thinking these would make a great starter, as well as a simple supper dish. I garnished them with some fresh lovage from the garden which gave them a lovely celery-lemon flavour! I love anything on toast, and this will be a new but firm favourite now!
