Description

Liven up your brunch with these delicious, garlicky mushrooms in crispy buttery toast cups.

Ingredients

1 tablespoon butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
12 ounces sliced mushrooms
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons softened butter
6 firm white or wheat bread, crusts removed
3 eggs, beaten
2 tablespoons cream
3 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

1 Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2 Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Stir in garlic, and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add mushrooms, and continue cooking until softened and lightly browned, 4 to 6 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, then set aside to cool.
3 Meanwhile, spread softened butter onto one side of each slice of bread. Press the buttered sides into a muffin tin; set aside.
4 Stir together eggs and cream, then stir in the cooled mushroom mixture. Divide this custard equally among the toast cups. Sprinkle the tops with grated Parmesan cheese.
5 Bake in preheated oven until egg mixture sets, and tops are golden brown, about 20 minutes.
