Ingredients

• 1 thick slice sourdough
• 25 g butter, softened
• 25 g (¼ cup) finely grated parmesan
• drizzle of extra virgin olive oil
• 200 g brown button mushrooms, sliced
• 1 large portobello mushroom, sliced
• 1 garlic clove, finely chopped
• 2 sprigs thyme
• good splash of brandy
• 1 tbsp sour cream
• shredded parsley, to serve

Rocket salad

• 2 cups baby rocket
• 2 tsp extra virgin olive oil
• ½ tsp Dijon mustard
• 2 tsp white wine vinegar

Instructions

1. Spread the sourdough with a little butter and top with the parmesan, pressing it gently onto the bread. Heat a small non – stick frying pan over medium heat and fry the bread, parmesan - down for about 3 minutes or until the parmesan is golden and crisp. Turn and cook the other side for 1 minute, then transfer to a serving plate and return the pan to the heat.
2. While the cheese is toasting, microwave the mushrooms for 3 minutes. Add the rest of the butter to the pan and fry the mushrooms, garlic and thyme for about 2 minutes or until browned. Add the brandy, tilt the pan slightly to ignite the alcohol, then add the sour cream and toss together. Scatter with parsley, then spoon over the top of the parmesan toast.
3. For the salad, mix the olive oil, mustard and vinegar together and toss through the rocket leaves. Serve with the mushrooms on toast and a glass of wine.
