Mushrooms on Toast image

Beloved by British and other Anglophone cooks, mushrooms on toast is a hearty savory dish that can be made quickly. It's cheap and delicious if you use ordinary cultivated mushrooms, and suitable for any time of day: breakfast, lunch, tea, dinner or late snack. One pound of mushrooms is just right for two servings.
