Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 loaf Crusty bread (like a baguette or sourdough)
- 3 tablespoons Butter
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves
- 8 ounces Mushrooms (button or cremini)
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons Dried thyme
- 1.5 cups Mozzarella cheese (shredded)
- 0.5 cups Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped, optional for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Slice the crusty bread into thick slices (about 3/4 inch to 1 inch), and arrange them on the baking sheet.
In a large skillet, melt the butter with the olive oil over medium heat.
Mince the garlic cloves and add them to the skillet. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Chop the mushrooms into small pieces and add them to the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are softened and most of the liquid has evaporated.
Season the mushrooms with salt, black pepper, and dried thyme. Stir well to combine. Remove the skillet from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
Spread a spoonful of the mushroom mixture onto each slice of bread.
Top each slice evenly with shredded mozzarella cheese, then sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese on top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. If desired, broil on high for an additional 1-2 minutes to achieve a golden-brown top.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool for 1-2 minutes. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley (optional) before serving.
