This is the best toasted mushroom sandwich you will ever eat! Mushrooms on toast has always been a favourite comfort food. This Swedish version is on another level!
In the summer and autumn months, an abundance of wild mushrooms* spring up in the vast Swedish forests. Here is my favourite way of enjoying these earthy delights.
