Ingredients
- 8 slices of baguette or Italian bread
- 2 tablespoons olive oil for brushing
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 10 oz (285 g) cremini or button mushrooms, cleaned and chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves or 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 2 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). While it heats, arrange the bread slices on a baking sheet.
- Brush each slice of bread with olive oil to ensure it toasts evenly and becomes crisp in the oven.
- Toast the bread in the preheated oven for about 5-7 minutes, or until golden brown. Watch closely to prevent burning.
- In a frying pan over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon olive oil and butter. Once the butter is melted, add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant.
- Add the chopped mushrooms to the pan. Stir occasionally for about 6-8 minutes until mushrooms are soft and have released their moisture.
- Season the mushrooms with salt, pepper, and thyme. Stir to combine the flavors well.
- Remove the pan from heat and prepare to assemble your bruschetta.
- Top each toasted bread slice with a generous spoonful of the mushroom mixture. Make sure the mushrooms are evenly distributed across the slices.
- Sprinkle each piece with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and finish with a sprinkle of chopped parsley for a fresh look and taste.
