Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 French bread loaf
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 cups Button mushrooms, thinly sliced
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 1.5 cups Gouda cheese, shredded
- 0.75 cup Pizza or marinara sauce
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Slice the French bread loaf in half lengthwise, then cut each half into two equal pieces to make four portions.
Place the bread pieces cut side up on the prepared baking sheet and lightly brush each one with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Set aside.
Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms release their moisture and begin to brown. Season with salt, black pepper, and fresh thyme leaves. Remove from heat.
Spread an even layer of pizza or marinara sauce over each piece of bread.
Top each bread slice with the sautéed mushrooms, distributing them evenly.
Sprinkle the shredded Gouda cheese generously over the mushrooms.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden, and the bread is crisp around the edges.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.
