A savory toast inspired by *The Last of Us*, featuring a homemade cordyceps mushroom spread on toasted sourdough, garnished with microgreens and honey for depth and contrast.

  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 2 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 slices sourdough bread, thick-cut
  • 2 tbsp butter, softened
  • 1 cup cordyceps mushrooms (or substitute cremini), finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 shallot, finely diced
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves
  • 1 tsp honey
  • ½ tsp lemon zest
  • Pinch of flaky sea salt
  • Few microgreens or edible flowers, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté shallot and garlic until fragrant and soft (2–3 mins).
  2. Add chopped mushrooms and thyme; cook until mushrooms are tender and most moisture has evaporated (~6–8 mins).
  3. Stir in honey and lemon zest. Remove from heat and stir in 1 tbsp softened butter.
  4. Toast sourdough slices until golden and crisp.
  5. Spread mushroom mixture generously over toast. Finish with flaky salt, microgreens, and a light drizzle of honey.

Notes

  • Cordyceps mushrooms can be substituted with a mix of shiitake and oyster for umami depth.
  • For a vegan version, omit honey and use maple syrup or agave.
  • Toast can be prepared in advance—keep spread separate and assemble before serving for optimal crispness.
