Instructions
- Prepare the Filling:
- In a large skillet, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat until melted and hot.
- Add the chopped onion and sauté until softened and translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Add the finely chopped mushrooms and thyme. Cook until the mushrooms release their moisture and are golden brown, about 8-10 minutes.
- Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
- Remove from heat and stir in the grated Gruyère and Parmesan cheeses. Mix until the cheese is melted and well combined with the mushrooms. Set aside.
- Prepare the Toasts:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Arrange the bread slices on a baking sheet.
- Brush both sides of each slice with olive oil.
- Toast the bread in the preheated oven for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until golden and crisp.
- Remove from the oven and rub each toast with the cut side of the garlic clove for added flavor.
- Assemble the Stuffed Toasts:
- Spoon a generous amount of the mushroom and cheese mixture onto each toast.
- Return the toasts to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and slightly golden.
- Serve:
- Remove the toasts from the oven and let them cool slightly.
- Garnish with fresh parsley, if using.
- Serve the Mushroom and Cheese Stuffed Toasts warm and enjoy!
