Description
Earthy sautéed mushrooms layered over crispy baguette slices, topped with melted Gruyère and fresh thyme for a rich and elegant bite.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 2 shallots, finely chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 16 oz cremini mushrooms, cleaned and sliced
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1/4 cup dry white wine (or vegetable broth)
- 1 baguette, sliced into 1/2-inch pieces
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (for brushing bread)
- 1 1/2 cups shredded Gruyère cheese
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large skillet over medium heat, heat olive oil and butter until melted.
- Add shallots and sauté for 2-3 minutes, until softened.
- Stir in garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add sliced mushrooms, salt, and pepper. Sauté for about 8-10 minutes until mushrooms are softened and moisture has evaporated.
- Add thyme and deglaze the pan with white wine or broth. Let simmer for 2-3 minutes until liquid is mostly absorbed. Remove from heat.
- While mushrooms cook, place baguette slices on a baking sheet. Brush each slice lightly with olive oil.
- Toast in the oven for 6-8 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden.
- Top each toasted baguette slice with a spoonful of the mushroom mixture and sprinkle with shredded Gruyère.
- Return to oven for 4-5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Serve warm, garnished with extra thyme if desired.
Notes
- Substitute Gruyère with Swiss or Fontina cheese for variation.
- Use gluten-free baguette for a gluten-free option.
- Vegetable broth can be used instead of white wine for a non-alcoholic version.
