Step 1
In a large skillet, melt 1 tbsp butter over medium heat. Add the 8 oz sliced mushrooms and cook until browned and tender, about 5 minutes. Remove and set aside.
Step 2
In the same skillet, add the 1 cup arborio rice and toast for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Add 1 cup of the 3 cups vegetable broth, stirring until absorbed.
Step 3
Continue adding the remaining broth, 1/2 cup at a time, stirring frequently until the rice is creamy and al dente, about 18 minutes total.
Step 4
Stir in the cooked mushrooms, 1/2 cup parmesan, and remaining 1 tbsp butter. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Step 5
Toast the 2 slices of bread until golden and crisp. Serve the risotto topped with the toasted bread.
