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 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 (like sourdough or ciabatta)

Optional: A squeeze of lemon juice for brightness

Instructions
 

Sauté the Mushrooms: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms in a single layer, ensuring they have enough space to brown well. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until they are golden brown, stirring occasionally.

    Add Garlic and Season: Once the mushrooms are browned, add the minced garlic and dried thyme. Sauté for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

      Create the Creamy Sauce: Reduce the heat to low, then pour in the heavy cream, stirring to combine. Allow it to simmer gently for about 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and combined. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary; add a squeeze of lemon juice if desired for extra brightness.

        Toast the Bread: While the mushrooms are simmering, preheat your oven broiler. Place the slices of rustic bread on a baking sheet and toast them under the broiler for 1-2 minutes on each side, until they are golden and crispy.

          Assemble the Toasts: Once the bread is toasted, pile generous amounts of the creamy mushroom mixture on top of each slice. Use a spoon to ensure the sauce drapes beautifully over the bread.

            Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the top for a pop of color and fresh flavor. Serve warm, and enjoy your delightful creamy garlic mushroom toasts!
