Looking for an irresistible spring recipe that will wow your tastebuds? You have come to the right place! This epic and easy spring mushroom toast is just what you are looking for. The flavors that come together in every bite will wow your tastebuds and have you coming back for more. I am so excited about spring and all the flavors it brings. There is nothing better than leaving behind winter foods and welcoming in the light spring foods. I think because we go so many months without freshly grown produce, it makes everything seem to burst with flavor.
In this recipe, I wanted to incorporate some of my favorite spring flavors. I chose ingredients that are in season and pair nicely together. I am lucky to have the Boise Farmers Market starting back up here in Boise. This farmers market allows me to not only source locally but eat seasonally. It is a one-stop spot close to my home where I can shop weekly for freshly made and grown items.
Supporting local
One business I have loved shopping with and learning more from is Ferg’s Fabulous Fungi . Owned by Brody Ferguson who grows and sells gourmet mushrooms here in Idaho.
“It has been my passion to produce a wide array of the highest quality gourmet mushrooms and products around as well as cultivate awareness about the amazing organisms known as Fungi. We grow gourmet & medicinal varieties such as Oyster mushrooms, King Trumpets, Chestnuts, Shiitake, Lion’s Mane, Reishi, and many more. We also provide a line of seasonal mushroom products including mushroom seasonings, tinctures, broth, and more! For a more hands-on experience, we offer easy-to-use grow kits in which you can experience the magic of fresh quality mushrooms in your own home.”
I was able to grab two bags filled with his amazing mushrooms to create this epic and easy spring mushroom toast. For this recipe, I incorporated King Trumpets, Snow oysters, Shiitake, Blue oyster, Pioppinos, and Lions Mane mushrooms. It was incredible to feel the difference in texture with each mushroom, I knew the taste of these mushrooms would be incredible.

Ingredients you will need for this spring mushroom toast
- 4 slices of fresh bread

Direction on how to make the epic spring mushroom toast
Start by slicing your bread, spreading olive oil on top, and broil in the oven until golden brown in color. Roughly chop your mushroom and melt butter in a cast iron skillet. Add mushroom, salt, and pepper, and sauté for 7-10 minutes. You want your mushrooms to cook down and absorb the butter. Add balsamic vinegar and set temp on low. The mushrooms will absorb the balsamic vinegar and continue to saute. Mix cream cheese, fresh dill, and thyme and stir until evenly combined. Add lemon juice to the mixture and mix again. Top the toast with a healthy helping of cream cheese, then add your mushrooms, and micro-greens and finish with lemon zest.
Your toast should be fully stacked by this point. I loaded my toast up so much that it was hard to get a bite but believe me I did. There is too much goodness in this fully loaded-toast to miss out on this deliciousness.
