Ingredients
  

8 ounces of fresh mushrooms (such as cremini or button), sliced

2 tablespoons of olive oil

3 cloves of garlic, minced

1/2 teaspoon of dried thyme

Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

1/2 cup of heavy cream (or substitute with a plant-based cream for a lighter option)

1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese (or nutritional yeast for a vegan option)

1 tablespoon of fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

4 slices of rustic bread (such as sourdough or ciabatta)

Optional: A squeeze of fresh lemon juice for added brightness

Instructions
 

Sauté the Mushrooms: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the sliced mushrooms in a single layer. It’s important not to overcrowd the pan to achieve a nice browning. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are golden brown and their moisture has evaporated.

    Add Garlic and Seasoning: With the mushrooms beautifully browned, stir in the minced garlic and dried thyme. Sauté for another 1-2 minutes until the garlic becomes fragrant but be careful not to burn it. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.

      Create the Creamy Sauce: Lower the heat to low and slowly pour in the heavy cream, stirring continuously to combine. Allow the mixture to simmer gently for about 3-4 minutes, letting the sauce thicken slightly. Gradually stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until it's melted and well incorporated. Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning as needed; if you want a bit of acidity, add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice for extra brightness.

        Toast the Bread: While the mushroom mixture is simmering, preheat your oven's broiler. Arrange the slices of rustic bread on a baking sheet and place them under the broiler. Toast for 1-2 minutes on each side, or until they are a golden brown and crisp. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.

          Assemble the Toasts: After toasting, remove the bread from the oven. Generously spoon the creamy mushroom mixture over each slice, allowing the sauce to drape elegantly over the edges.

            Garnish and Serve: Finish by sprinkling the chopped fresh parsley over the top of the toasts, adding a lively burst of color and flavor. Serve immediately while warm, and savor the delightful combination of creamy garlic mushrooms on crispy toast!
