Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 8 ounces cremini mushrooms
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 4 slices baguette or artisan bread
• 4 ounces Brie cheese
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 2

Clean and slice the cremini mushrooms thinly. Mince the garlic cloves.

Step 3

Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they release their moisture and begin to brown.

Step 4

Stir in the minced garlic, fresh thyme, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another 2 minutes until fragrant. Remove the skillet from heat and set aside.

Step 5

Preheat your broiler on high. Arrange the bread slices on a baking sheet.

Step 6

Slice the Brie cheese into thin slices and evenly distribute them over the bread slices.

Step 7

Top each bread slice with the sautéed mushroom mixture, dividing it evenly among the four slices.

Step 8

Place the baking sheet under the broiler for 1-2 minutes, or until the Brie has melted and the edges of the bread are golden brown. Watch carefully to avoid burning.

Step 9

Remove the Mushroom and Brie Melts from the oven and transfer to plates. Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley if desired.

Step 10

Serve immediately and enjoy your savory, cheesy melt!
