Ingredients
  

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

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 tablespoon unsalted butter

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (or ¼ teaspoon dried thyme)

Salt and pepper to taste

4 slices of hearty bread (such as sourdough or ciabatta)

8 oz (225g) brie cheese, sliced

1 tablespoon balsamic glaze (optional)

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Sauté the Mushrooms: In a skillet over medium heat, combine the olive oil and butter. Once melted, add the sliced mushrooms and cook for about 5-7 minutes until they are browned and cooked down. Stir in the minced garlic and thyme and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat and set aside.

    Prepare the Bread: While the mushrooms are cooking, preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the slices of bread onto a baking sheet. If desired, lightly brush each slice with olive oil for extra crispiness.

      Assemble the Toasts: Top each slice of bread with a generous portion of the sautéed mushrooms, making sure to evenly distribute them. Next, layer slices of brie cheese over the mushrooms.

        Bake the Toasts: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the edges of the bread are golden and crisp.

          Serve and Enjoy: Once out of the oven, drizzle with balsamic glaze for an extra touch of flavor. Garnish with fresh parsley. Serve immediately while warm and enjoy the delicious melt of flavors!
