Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 loaf French baguette
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1.5 cups Button mushrooms, finely chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 2 cups Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Slice the French baguette in half lengthwise, then place both halves on a baking sheet, cut side up.
Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil and minced garlic, and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the chopped mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms release their moisture and become golden brown.
Season the mushrooms with salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning. Stir well to combine and remove from heat.
Spread the sautéed mushroom mixture evenly over the cut sides of the baguette.
Top the mushroom layer with shredded mozzarella cheese, distributing it evenly across both halves.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the bread from the oven and sprinkle with fresh parsley for garnish.
Allow the bread to cool for a few minutes, then slice into portions and serve warm.
