Calories: 78kcal
Ingredients
- 1 Baguette sliced into ½-inch rounds (about 16 slices)
- 2 tablespoon Olive Oil
- 4 oz Goat Cheese
- 8 oz Mushrooms (cremini, button, or mixed), cleaned and sliced
- 2 cloves Garlic halved
- 1 teaspoon Thyme fresh, or ½ teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Arrange baguette slices on a baking sheet. Brush both sides lightly with olive oil. Bake for 8–10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crisp. Set aside to cool slightly.
- In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced garlic and mushrooms and cook for 6–8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned and tender.
- Add the thyme. Cook for another 1–2 minutes until fragrant. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat.
- Spread a generous layer of goat cheese onto each toasted baguette slice. Top with a spoonful of the warm mushrooms.
- Garnish with a drizzle of balsamic glaze or a sprinkle of chives or microgreens, if desired.
- Serve immediately, while the mushrooms are still warm and the bread is crisp.
Notes
For extra flavor, rub a cut garlic clove on the toasted bread before adding the goat cheese.
You can make the toasted bread and mushroom mixture ahead of time, then assemble just before serving.
