Ingredients
  

8 oz (225g) fresh mushrooms (such as cremini or button), sliced

1 tablespoon olive oil

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

2 garlic cloves, minced

½ cup heavy cream

½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Salt and pepper, to taste

¼ teaspoon dried thyme (or 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped)

1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

4 slices of rustic bread (like sourdough or ciabatta)

1 tablespoon balsamic glaze (optional, for drizzling)

Instructions
 

Sauté the Mushrooms: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter over medium-high heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are browned and tender.

    Add Garlic and Cream: Reduce heat to medium-low and add the minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant. Stir in the heavy cream, allowing it to simmer gently.

      Incorporate Cheese: Sprinkle in the grated Parmesan cheese while stirring continuously until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Season with salt, pepper, and thyme. Allow the sauce to simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes to thicken slightly.

        Toast the Bread: While the mushroom mixture is simmering, preheat your oven’s broiler. Place the slices of bread on a baking sheet and toast them under the broiler for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they are golden and crispy. Keep an eye on them to avoid burning!

          Assemble the Toasts: Once the bread is toasted, remove it from the oven. Using a spoon, evenly distribute the creamy mushroom mixture onto each slice of toasted bread.

            Garnish and Serve: Drizzle with balsamic glaze, if desired, and sprinkle with chopped parsley for a fresh touch. Serve immediately while the toasts are warm and the mushrooms are creamy. Enjoy!
