Ingredients
  

400g mixed mushrooms (button, shiitake, and cremini), sliced

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 tablespoon unsalted butter

½ teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

100ml heavy cream

100g cream cheese, softened

Salt and pepper to taste

4 slices of rustic bread (sourdough or ciabatta is ideal)

Grated Parmesan cheese, for serving (optional)

Instructions
 

Sauté the Mushrooms: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the sliced mushrooms and sauté until they are golden brown and have released their moisture, about 5-7 minutes.

    Add Garlic and Herbs: Stir in the minced garlic and dried thyme. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Make sure not to burn the garlic, as it can become bitter.

      Create the Creamy Mixture: Lower the heat and add the heavy cream and softened cream cheese to the skillet. Stir well until the cream cheese is fully incorporated and smooth. Let it simmer gently for 3-4 minutes, allowing the mixture to thicken slightly. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

        Toast the Bread: While the mushroom mixture is simmering, toast the slices of rustic bread until golden brown and crispy. You can do this in a toaster or on a grill for added flavor.

          Assemble the Toasts: Once the bread is toasted, top each slice with a generous portion of the creamy garlic mushroom mixture. Garnish with fresh parsley and, if desired, a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese for extra flavor.

            Serve Immediately: Enjoy your creamy garlic mushroom toast warm, perhaps with a side salad or as an elegant appetizer.
