Ingredients

• 1 loaf French baguette
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 1.5 cups Button mushrooms, finely chopped
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt

• 2 cups Mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Slice the French baguette in half lengthwise, then place both halves on a baking sheet, cut side up.

Step 3

Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil and minced garlic, and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the chopped mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms release their moisture and become golden brown.

Step 5

Season the mushrooms with salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning. Stir well to combine and remove from heat.

Step 6

Spread the sautéed mushroom mixture evenly over the cut sides of the baguette.

Step 7

Top the mushroom layer with shredded mozzarella cheese, distributing it evenly across both halves.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 9

Remove the bread from the oven and sprinkle with fresh parsley for garnish.

Step 10

Allow the bread to cool for a few minutes, then slice into portions and serve warm.
