What is Crème Fraîche?

How to Store Fresh Mushrooms

If you purchase your mushrooms, the best way to continue storing them is in their container. The containers are designed to breathe so the mushrooms can release their ethylene gas.

The plastic wrap on the container will keep the mushrooms fresh until you break the seal. Once you do, store the remaining mushrooms in the same container and add more plastic wrap.

Raw mushrooms last 4-7 days in the refrigerator when properly stored.

Best Ways to Clean Mushrooms

You want to avoid washing or soaking your mushrooms because they are porous and absorb water. It will make them taste watery.

Try cleaning your mushrooms with a damp cloth or paper towel first. You can also use a soft mushroom brush. If the mushrooms still have a lot of dirt, rinse them with water and immediately dry them thoroughly.

Make sure to cook the mushrooms immediately after cleaning because they tend to get slimy if you don’t.

Tips for Making Breakfast Mushroom Toast

• You can substitute any mushroom for cremini, like white button, shiitake, or wild mushrooms.
• Sour cream can be used in place of crème fraîche.
• You can substitute your favorite herb for thyme.
• The better quality the bread is, the better the dish will taste. Any good country or French bread tastes fantastic, topped with creamy mushrooms. Sourdough bread is also a good choice.
• You can add a poached or a fried egg to the mushroom toast for a great breakfast recipe.
• Cremini mushrooms are also known as baby bella mushrooms or baby portobellos.
• Grilled bread slices are also an excellent base for your creamy mushrooms.
• I like to add freshly ground black pepper and a generous pinch of sea salt to my sautéed mushrooms. If I’m craving spice, I add chili flakes to the slice of toast with mushrooms. Lemon zest is also a fun topper to try.

How long will sautéed mushrooms last in the refrigerator?

You can refrigerate the sautéed mushrooms for 3-5 days in the fridge in an airtight container.

Can you freeze the cooked mushrooms?

Because the recipe has dairy, it is best not to freeze the mushrooms because they will taste grainy when thawed and reheated.
