Button Mushrooms on Wholemeal Toast with Parsley

When I was little my Grandad taught me how to grow plants. Really enjoyed learning that.

Through life I’ve grown tomato plants and herbs.

I liked cooking with herbs I grew myself and hope to get a greenhouse again one day.

Until then I’m opting for the little herbs grown in plant pots at the supermarket or the ones in little packets.

As I’m learning to cook again I felt inspired to try herbs with mushrooms on toast.

This is one of my favourite breakfast/brunch options and I used to almost live on it.

Now I’m learning about nutrition I realise it was the vitamins in the mushrooms that I was craving.

Which vitamin is rich in mushrooms?

Mushrooms contain high amounts of selenium, vitamin D, and vitamin B6. Selenium can help prevent cell damage in our bodies, vitamin D helps with cell growth, and vitamin B6 helps our bodies form red blood cells. All of these nutrients in mushrooms help to maintain a healthy immune system.

One thing I used to tire of though was washing mushrooms as I ate so many of them.

I plan to wash mushrooms again one day, but yesterday I discovered tinned button mushrooms.

I taste tested them for you first before writing this up.

I have to say they are a eureka find.

I’ll use these all the time now like tinned grapefruit.

They are also low in everything.

I steamed mine so not sure what they are like fried.

Have to say they tasted just as good surprisingly.

Wrote the recipe up even though it is probably obvious, the exciting find was the tinned button mushrooms.

Great time saver if you have a busy life and find it hard to find time to fit cooking in.

I had this for dinner with salad as I’m slimming.
