Author Notes
Travel is one of my passions, and whenever I can, I like to find a good cookbook or recipes, learn new techniques and be inspired. Sauteed Mushrooms on Toast is adapted from Bill Granger's Bills Food, a book picked up about 10 years ago in Australia when I was visiting relatives. I love this for a relatively quick and special savory breakfast! It also makes a nice starter or a light dinner. Top with a poached egg if you like.
Remember: preserved lemons are very salty, the reason to taste for seasoning at the end, not reaching for the salt before. —Natalie
