Ingredients

• 1 whole Crusty bread loaf (e.g., sourdough or ciabatta)
• 4 tablespoons Olive oil
• 300 grams Mushrooms (e.g., cremini or button), cleaned and sliced
• 6 pieces Garlic cloves, whole with skins on
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon Balsamic vinegar
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).

Step 2

Place the garlic cloves with skins on in a small piece of aluminum foil, drizzle with 1 teaspoon of olive oil, and wrap tightly. Roast in the oven for 20 minutes until the garlic is soft.

Step 3

While the garlic roasts, heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add 2 tablespoons of olive oil.

Step 4

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 5

Stir in the fresh thyme leaves, roasted garlic (squeeze out the softened garlic from the skins), balsamic vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, then remove from heat and stir in the parsley.

Step 6

To prepare the bread, preheat a grill pan or outdoor grill to medium heat. Slice the bread loaf into thick slices (about 1 inch thick), and brush both sides of each slice with the remaining olive oil.

Step 7

Grill the bread slices for 2-3 minutes on each side until crisp and golden with visible grill marks.

Step 8

Place the grilled bread slices on a serving platter and top each slice with a generous amount of the roasted garlic mushroom salad.

Step 9

Garnish with additional parsley if desired, and serve warm.
