Mushroom and Feta Open Toast

Allergen Warning

• Contains milk (dairy) from butter and feta - warn guests with lactose intolerance or milk allergies. Contains gluten from white bread - not suitable for celiac or gluten-sensitive individuals.

Cross Contamination

• Use separate cutting boards and utensils for raw mushrooms if also handling other proteins. Avoid using toaster shared with allergen-containing items without cleaning between uses.

Cooking Temperature

• Mushrooms must reach adequate heat (pan at medium-high) to ensure safe cooking. Butter should melt completely before adding mushrooms. Ensure mushrooms are cooked until golden and liquid fully evaporates.

Storage

• If preparing components ahead, store sautéed mushrooms separately in airtight container in refrigerator within 2 hours of cooking. Use within 2-3 days. Toast should be made fresh or toasted just before serving to maintain crisp texture.

Handling

• Ensure mushrooms are fresh and firm before cooking. Wash and pat dry thoroughly. When squeezing lemon, avoid seeds falling into the dish. Crumble feta fresh onto hot mushrooms just before serving.

High Risk Population

• Elderly, immunocompromised, pregnant individuals should ensure mushrooms are cooked thoroughly with no raw texture remaining. Hot food should be served immediately above 140°F.

• This is a simple two-person breakfast dish meant to be served immediately. No advanced prep required beyond basic ingredient prep. Lemon juice acidity may cause mild reaction in those with citrus sensitivity.
