1. Brush the sourdough with olive oil and toast both sides.
2. Heat olive oil in a pan and grill 100g king oyster mushroom. Season with pepper (salt comes later).
3. On the sourdough (crispier once cooled slightly), spread basil pesto and ricotta cheese, then top with the mushroom from step 2. Finish with truffle oil, truffle salt, and chopped parsley.
