Ingredients

• 1 loaf Crusty bread (like a baguette or sourdough)
• 3 tablespoons Butter
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves
• 8 ounces Mushrooms (button or cremini)
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoons Dried thyme
• 1.5 cups Mozzarella cheese (shredded)
• 0.5 cups Parmesan cheese (grated)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped, optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

Step 2

Slice the crusty bread into thick slices (about 3/4 inch to 1 inch), and arrange them on the baking sheet.

Step 3

In a large skillet, melt the butter with the olive oil over medium heat.

Step 4

Mince the garlic cloves and add them to the skillet. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 5

Chop the mushrooms into small pieces and add them to the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are softened and most of the liquid has evaporated.

Step 6

Season the mushrooms with salt, black pepper, and dried thyme. Stir well to combine. Remove the skillet from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.

Step 7

Spread a spoonful of the mushroom mixture onto each slice of bread.

Step 8

Top each slice evenly with shredded mozzarella cheese, then sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese on top.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. If desired, broil on high for an additional 1-2 minutes to achieve a golden-brown top.

Step 10

Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool for 1-2 minutes. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley (optional) before serving.
