About the dish

Svamptoast is a traditional open-faced sandwich. It's usually made with a combination of chanterelles or wild mushrooms, bread, butter, onions, heavy cream, parsley, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. The mushrooms are chopped and sautéed with onions in butter over medium-low heat. Once the moisture evaporates, the cream and parsley are stirred in, and the mixture should become slightly thick in consistency. Lemon juice is added to the mixture, and it's seasoned with salt and pepper. The bread slices are fried in butter on both sides until golden, and then topped with the mushroom mixture. The sandwich should be served immediately, while still warm.
