Instructions
Preparation of Mushroom Mixture
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, combine olive oil and salted butter.
- Add the sliced mushrooms, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to coat.
- Cook for about five minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Introduce Worcestershire sauce and cook for another five minutes until mushrooms are deep brown.
- Remove from skillet and set aside to cool.
Making the Cheese Spread
- In a separate bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sour cream, and melted butter until smooth.
- Fold in minced garlic, dried onion flakes, and black pepper.
- Gently fold in all four cheeses and green onions until combined.
Preparing the Toasts
- Place sourdough bread slices on a baking sheet and broil for a few minutes until golden and crisp.
- Flip halfway through to toast both sides evenly.
- Fold reserved mushrooms into the cheese mixture and then generously spread the mixture onto each slice of toast.
- Sprinkle remaining mushroom slices over the top.
Final Cooking
- Return the sheet pan to the oven and broil for 3-5 minutes until cheese bubbles and browns.
- Remove from oven and top with additional green onions. Serve immediately.
Notes
For elevated flavor, add fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary to the mushroom mix. You can use homemade mayonnaise for added freshness. Watch cheese while broiling to prevent burning.
