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
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- 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.
- In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
- 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.
- 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.
- Top the cheese with the sautéed mushrooms, ensuring an even distribution across each slice.
- Return the assembled toasts to the oven for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Serve hot and savor the delightful combination of flavors.
Tips
- For added depth, consider drizzling a touch of balsamic glaze over the mushrooms before serving.
- You can substitute brunost with a similar semi-soft cheese if unavailable, but the unique flavor of brunost is worth seeking out!
- Experiment with different mushrooms, such as shiitake or portobello, for a varied flavor profile.
