Crispy mushrooms, spicy sun-dried tomatoes, caramelized onions, and fried sage all on toast? Yeah, let’s make toast.
Step 1
Make the Spicy Sun-Dried Tomato Spread. Set aside.
Step 2
Caramelize the onions. Add 1 tbsp of oil to a cast iron or similar pan on low heat. Once shimmering, add the onions and 1 tsp of salt, and stir often so that onions don’t stick to the pan. You want to leave them alone but stir every few mins to prevent burning. Caramelizing takes time, but keep it on low heat. Once onions are soft, not burnt, with a rich, brown color, turn off heat and set aside.
Step 3.
Cook the mushrooms and sage. Add 2 tbsp of oil to the same pan on medium-to-high heat. Once hot, add mushrooms to the pan, but don’t crowd the pan! Flip after 2 minutes, and after 2 more minutes, remove from heat. Cook longer if you prefer a crispier texture. Salt after cooking, not during, with the final 1 tsp of salt. Immediately add sage leaves to the pan, and crisp for 1-2 minutes.
Step 4
Toast your bread. Assemble the toast: spread, onions, mushrooms, sage. Top with flaky salt.
