Melt half the butter and half the oil in a large frying pan and fry the bread until golden on both sides. Season and set to one side.
Heat the remaining oil and butter in a clean pan and fry the shallots and garlic. Then add the sliced mushrooms and cook for a few minutes on a high heat. When the mushrooms start to brown, add the Madeira and deglaze the pan.
Cook until the liquid is reduced then stir in the cream and bring to the boil. Season to taste then add the chopped tarragon and parsley. Reduce until a nice consistency is achieved.
To serve, spoon this mix over the warm toast and serve at once.
