📣 Dive into the simplicity of gourmet! Perfect quick-fix delight for busy weekdays or elegant gatherings! 📣

🍽️ Ingredients 🍽️
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups mushrooms, sliced
- 1/2 teaspoon thyme (fresh or dried)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish
- 4 slices of sourdough bread
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

🧑‍🍳 Directions 🧑‍🍳
1. Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Arrange the sourdough bread slices on a baking sheet and generously drizzle both sides with olive oil. Toast in the oven for about 5-7 minutes, or until they turn lightly golden.
2. Meanwhile, melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Toss in the mushrooms and sauté for about 5-6 minutes until they are nicely browned and soft.
3. Stir in the garlic and thyme, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes until the aroma is irresistible. Season the mixture with salt and pepper according to your taste.
4. Take the toasted bread from the oven and evenly distribute the mushroom and garlic mix over each slice.
5. Top each with a generous amount of mozzarella and a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese.
6. Return the toasts to the oven and bake for another 3-4 minutes, or until the cheese has melted into a bubbly, golden layer.
7. Finish by garnishing with freshly chopped parsley and serve while hot and gooey!
