Creamy herbed ricotta and buttery sautéed mushrooms come together in this rustic yet elegant toast. It’s the perfect bite for brunch, a light lunch, or a savoury snack that’s full of flavour and easy to pull together.

This is one of those recipes that feels like a little indulgence but is secretly so simple to make. The warm, garlicky mushrooms paired with the creamy ricotta spread on crisp, golden toast—it's comfort food with a gourmet twist. We love serving this when we want something hearty, satisfying, and just a little bit special.
