Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices Crusty bread (e.g., baguette or sourdough)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 8 ounces Button or cremini mushrooms, finely chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 medium Shallot, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Brush both sides of the bread slices with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and arrange them on a baking sheet.
Toast the bread in the oven for 5-7 minutes, or until golden and crisp. Remove and set aside.
Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the chopped shallot and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant.
Stir in the chopped mushrooms and cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they release their moisture and begin to brown.
Add the thyme, salt, and black pepper to the mushroom mixture. Stir well to combine.
Lower the heat and pour in the heavy cream. Stir to coat the mushrooms and cook for another 1-2 minutes until the mixture is creamy.
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the Parmesan cheese until melted and incorporated.
Spoon the mushroom mixture evenly over the toasted bread slices.
Garnish each toast with freshly chopped parsley.
Serve immediately and enjoy your savory Mushroom Toasts!
