Ingredients
  

8 oz (225 g) fresh mushrooms (cremini or button), sliced

3 tablespoons unsalted butter

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

4 cloves garlic, minced

1/2 teaspoon dried thyme (or 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, finely chopped)

1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for a hint of spice)

1/2 cup heavy cream

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

4 slices of hearty bread (such as sourdough or whole grain)

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Sauté the Mushrooms: In a large skillet, melt the unsalted butter and heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook them for approximately 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they become golden brown and tender.

    Add Garlic and Season: Once the mushrooms are tender, add the minced garlic, dried thyme, and red pepper flakes (if using). Continue to sauté for an additional 1-2 minutes until the garlic becomes fragrant, ensuring to stir frequently to prevent it from burning.

      Create the Creamy Sauce: Reduce the heat to low and pour the heavy cream into the skillet, stirring well to combine with the mushrooms. Gradually add the grated Parmesan cheese, stirring until it melts completely and the mixture is smooth and creamy. Season the sauce with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste, allowing it to simmer for 2-3 minutes to thicken slightly.

        Toast the Bread: While the creamy mushroom sauce simmers, toast the slices of bread until they are golden brown and crispy. You may use a toaster or place them under a broiler, watching closely to prevent burning.

          Assemble the Toasts: Once the bread is toasted and the mushroom sauce is ready, generously spoon the creamy garlic mushrooms onto each slice of toast.

            Garnish and Serve: For an appealing finish, sprinkle fresh chopped parsley over the toasts to add a vibrant touch and enhance the flavor. Serve these delicious toasts immediately while they are warm and creamy.
