Helpful Tips

• Substitutions: If you don’t have fresh herbs, dried herbs can work too; just use about a third of the amount as dried herbs are more potent.
• Variations: Add a handful of baby spinach or arugula to the skillet with the mushrooms for added greens and texture.
• Storage: Store any leftover marinated mushrooms in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Simply reheat in a skillet before serving.
• Pairings: This toast pairs wonderfully with a steaming mug of coffee or fresh orange juice. For a complete breakfast, consider serving alongside scrambled eggs or avocado slices.
