Chanterelle Cream Sandwich
Holy Sunday! Speaking of the ultimate breakfast, I’m pretty sure this is it. I made this chanterelle cream sandwich for this beautiful Autumnal Sunday and it was an instant hit. Reminds me of the best of Nordic open sandwiches – the ones that are fresh, well balanced and not too creamy, which can sometimes become a bit too much.
This is a vegan recipe with a cashew cream base. The pickles really bring this dish together and balance out the creaminess of the chanterelle topping. Chanterelle is one of my favourite mushroom with a slightly nutty and sweet flavour. The golden mushroom looks pretty too.
This simple recipe makes a stunning centrepiece to your brunch table and is sure to impress your guests. Happy weekend brunching xx
