Ingredients

• 1 loaf French baguette
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 Garlic cloves
• 2 cups Cremini mushrooms
• 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 0.5 cups Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Slice the French baguette into 1/2-inch-thick slices, yielding approximately 12 pieces.

Step 3

Brush each side of the bread slices lightly with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and arrange them on a baking sheet.

Step 4

Toast the bread slices in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crisp. Set aside.

Step 5

While the bread is toasting, finely mince 2 garlic cloves and set them aside. Slice the mushrooms into thin pieces.

Step 6

Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 7

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Stir in the fresh thyme, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another minute, then remove the skillet from the heat.

Step 10

Grate the Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese and finely chop the fresh parsley.

Step 11

Rub the toasted bread slices with the remaining whole garlic clove to infuse extra flavor.

Step 12

Top each bread slice with a generous spoonful of the mushroom mixture, sprinkle Parmigiano-Reggiano over the top, and garnish with fresh parsley.

Step 13

Serve immediately while warm, and enjoy your Mushroom Parmigiano Bruschetta!
