Mushroom Goat Cheese Tartine Recipe

Sourdough bread: A hearty and flavorful bread that provides a great base for the tartine.

Mushrooms: Earthy and savory, they add depth to the dish.

Goat cheese: Creamy and tangy, it complements the mushrooms perfectly.

Olive oil: Used for cooking the mushrooms and adding flavor.

Garlic: Adds a fragrant and savory note to the mushrooms.

Salt: Enhances the flavors of the ingredients.

Pepper: Adds a bit of heat and depth to the dish.

When cooking the mushrooms, make sure not to overcrowd the skillet. Overcrowding can cause the mushrooms to steam rather than sauté, which will prevent them from developing a rich, golden-brown color. Cook them in batches if necessary to ensure they are evenly browned and flavorful.

• Allow the mushrooms to cool completely before storing. This helps prevent condensation, which can make the bread soggy.
• Store the mushroom mixture and goat cheese separately from the bread. This ensures the bread remains crisp.
• Place the cooled mushroom mixture in an airtight container. Refrigerate for up to 3 days.
• Store the goat cheese in its original packaging or transfer to an airtight container. Refrigerate for up to 1 week.
• For the bread, keep it in a bread box or wrap it in a clean kitchen towel. Store at room temperature for up to 2 days.
• To freeze, place the cooled mushroom mixture in a freezer-safe container or zip-top bag. Label with the date and freeze for up to 2 months.
• When ready to use, thaw the mushroom mixture in the refrigerator overnight.
• Reheat the mushroom mixture in a skillet over medium heat until warmed through.
• Toast fresh slices of bread and assemble the tartine as per the original recipe instructions.
• If you prefer, you can also freeze the assembled tartines. Wrap each tartine individually in plastic wrap and then in aluminum foil. Label with the date and freeze for up to 1 month.
• To reheat frozen tartines, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the wrapped tartines on a baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until heated through. Remove the foil and plastic wrap before serving.

• Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the tartines on a baking sheet and cover them loosely with aluminum foil to prevent the goat cheese from over-browning. Heat for about 10 minutes or until warmed through.

• For a quicker method, use a toaster oven set to 350°F (175°C). Place the tartines directly on the rack and heat for 5-7 minutes. Keep an eye on them to ensure the bread doesn't get too crispy.

• If you prefer using a skillet, heat a non-stick pan over medium-low heat. Place the tartines in the skillet and cover with a lid. Heat for about 5 minutes, checking occasionally to ensure the bread doesn't burn.

• For a microwave option, place the tartines on a microwave-safe plate. Cover with a damp paper towel to keep the bread from drying out. Microwave on medium power for 1-2 minutes, or until heated through. Note that this method may make the bread slightly soggy.

• If you have an air fryer, preheat it to 320°F (160°C). Place the tartines in the basket and heat for 3-5 minutes. This method will help maintain the bread's crispiness while warming the mushrooms and goat cheese.
