How To Make Air Fryer Mushroom Toast
Step One: In a small bowl, toss sliced mushrooms with olive oil (or melted butter), minced garlic, salt, pepper, and fresh thyme or parsley if using.
Step Two: Preheat the air fryer to 375 degrees F. Place the seasoned mushrooms in the air fryer basket or on a tray in a single layer. Set cook time for 7-10 minutes, shaking halfway through, until tender and golden.
Step Three: While the mushrooms cook, lightly brush bread slices with olive oil. Place in the air fryer and toast for 3–5 minutes until crispy and golden brown.
Step Four: Spoon the warm, garlicky mushrooms over the toasted bread. Sprinkle with cheese or extra herbs if desired. Serve immediately for a delicious, savory toast perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a light meal!
Air Fryer Mushroom Toast Recipe Tips
- Choose thick, sturdy bread like sourdough or whole grain to hold the toppings without getting soggy.
- Use a variety of mushrooms such as cremini, shiitake, or portobello for deeper flavor.
- Add herbs after cooking for a fresh, bright finish—parsley or thyme works great.
- Toast the bread separately to ensure it stays crisp and doesn’t absorb too much moisture.
- Top with extras like a poached egg, cheese, or a drizzle of balsamic glaze for a gourmet upgrade.
Storing
- Storing: Store the cooked mushrooms and toasted bread separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. This keeps the bread from getting soggy and preserves the mushrooms’ flavor.
- Reheating: Reheat the mushrooms in a skillet or air fryer at 350°F for 2–3 minutes until warmed through. Toast the bread in the air fryer for 2–3 minutes, then assemble just before serving.
