Ingredients

• 1 whole Baguette or small crusty bread loaf
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 300 grams Cremini or button mushrooms
• 2 whole Garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
• 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (chopped)
• 1 tablespoon Freshly grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Slice the baguette into 12 thin slices (about 1 cm thick).

Step 3

Brush both sides of the bread slices with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and arrange them on a baking sheet.

Step 4

Toast the bread slices in the oven for 5-7 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden and crisp. Remove and set aside.

Step 5

Clean and slice the mushrooms into thin slices.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Once the butter has melted, add the mushrooms to the skillet and sauté for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms have released their moisture and turned golden.

Step 8

Finely mince the garlic and add it to the skillet along with the thyme leaves. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 9

Pour the heavy cream into the skillet and mix well to create a creamy sauce. Allow it to simmer for 1-2 minutes until slightly thickened.

Step 10

Season the mushrooms with salt and black pepper, then remove the skillet from heat.

Step 11

Spoon the mushroom mixture evenly onto the toasted bread slices.

Step 12

Garnish each toast with a sprinkle of chopped parsley and a bit of grated Parmesan cheese, if desired.

Step 13

Serve the Mushroom Toast Tapas immediately while warm and crisp.
