Brandy Creamed Mushrooms On Herby Cheese Toast

I made these with bits and bobs from the fridge & the pantry; i had half a baguette left & some boursin herb & garlic cream cheese plus a few mushrooms and a bit of creme fraiche. The cognac was an inspirational afterthought, and it worked a treat!!! I am now thinking these would make a great starter, as well as a simple supper dish. I garnished them with some fresh lovage from the garden which gave them a lovely celery-lemon flavour! I love anything on toast, and this will be a new but firm favourite now!

Steps

Cut the baguette into 6 slices.
Wipe clean the mushrooms and slice.
Heat the butter in a large frying pan and add the mushrooms.
Cook over a medium heat until tinged brown & all of the mushroom juice has evaporated.
Add the cognac / brandy and stir well.
Drop the toast into the toaster on a low to medium setting.
Add the creme fraiche to the mushrooms & stir well.
Season generously with black pepper and a pinch of salt.
Spread the toast with the boursin or herb & garlic cream cheese.
Pour the hot creamy mushrooms over the top of the cream cheese toast , garnish & eat immediately !.
