Mushroom Toasts with Goat Cheese, Balsamic & Thyme

Directions

1. Slice the shallots into thin rounds (you can use two if you have them).
2. Clean the mushrooms and cut them into slices.
3. Place a skillet over medium-high heat to warm up.
4. Mince the garlic so it’s ready to go.
5. Add butter to the hot skillet and swirl it to coat the bottom; add the mushrooms and shallots and cook, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften, about 3 minutes.
6. Strip the thyme leaves from the stems and discard the woody parts.
7. Add the garlic, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper to the skillet; stir frequently and cook until fragrant, 1–2 minutes, then remove from heat.
8. Toast the bread until it’s browned to your liking.
9. Spread the goat cheese over each toast, then top with the warm mushroom mixture.
10. Divide the toasts between plates and garnish with the thyme leaves before serving.
