Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 loaf French baguette
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves
- 300 grams Cremini mushrooms
- 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
- 30 grams Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Slice the baguette into 1/2-inch thick slices on a slight diagonal to create longer pieces. You should get about 12 slices.
Place the slices on a baking sheet and brush both sides with 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crisp. Remove from oven and set aside.
While the bread is toasting, mince the garlic and finely chop the parsley. Clean and slice the cremini mushrooms into thin pieces.
In a large skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and stir well. Cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are golden brown and tender.
Stir in the heavy cream, grated Parmesan cheese, thyme leaves, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another 2 minutes until the mixture is creamy and well combined. Remove from heat.
To assemble, spoon the mushroom mixture generously over each toasted baguette slice.
Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley and additional grated Parmesan if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your savory Mushroom Crostini!
