4 portions
Metric Imperial

Ingredients

  • 1 lb mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 2 tbsp canola oil
  • 2 gray shallots, chopped
  • 5 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 1 oz cognac
  • ¼ cup 35% thickened cream
  • 1 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 1 tbsp fresh thyme, chopped
  • 3 tbsp maple syrup (preferably amber syrup, for its rich flavour)
  • 4 thick slices of crusty bread
  • 1 cup strong cheddar, grated
  • Salt and freshly-ground pepper, to taste

Method

  1. In a skillet over high heat, sauté the chanterelles in the oil and butter for 3 minutes, without over-stirring to brown them well. Add the shallots, garlic, and salt and pepper, and cook for another minute.
  2. Take the pan off the heat and deglaze with the cognac. Add the cream and herbs, and cook 2 minutes over low heat or until the cooking juices are reduced. Stir in the maple syrup. Adjust the seasoning and set aside.
  3. Toast the 4 slices of bread.
  4. Put the bread on a baking sheet and top each slice with the chanterelle mixture and the grated cheese. Broil until well-browned and serve immediately.

This mushroom, cheddar and maple syrup tartine is a fresh take on the classic open sandwich, perfect for an easy lunch or a light dinner. Chanterelle mushrooms are sautéed with herbs and shallots, then piled onto crusty bread and topped with strong cheddar, all finished with a drizzle of Canadian maple syrup for a touch of sweetness that balances the savoury flavours. The combination of earthy mushrooms and creamy cheese with the unique taste of maple syrup makes this tartine a standout choice for anyone looking to try something new.
