Norwegian Brunost and Mushroom Toast

Ingredients

Sourdough bread

4 slices

Brunost cheese

8 ounces, sliced

Mushrooms (cremini or button)

2 cups, sliced

Garlic

2 cloves, minced

Butter

2 tablespoons

Fresh thyme

1 tablespoon, chopped

Salt

1/2 teaspoon

Black pepper

1/4 teaspoon

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Arrange the sourdough bread slices on a baking sheet and toast them in the oven for approximately 5 minutes, or until they are crispy and lightly golden.
3. In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
4. Add the sliced mushrooms, minced garlic, chopped thyme, and season with salt and pepper. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, or until the mushrooms are golden brown and cooked through.
5. Spread a generous layer of brunost cheese over each toasted bread slice, allowing it to soften and melt slightly from the heat of the toast.
6. Top the cheese with the sautéed mushrooms, ensuring an even distribution across each slice.
7. Return the assembled toasts to the oven for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
8. Serve hot and savor the delightful combination of flavors.
