Step 1

Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat, then add the mushrooms and sauté for about 5 minutes. Then, add the garlic, thyme and balsamic vinegar to the pan and continue cooking until the mushrooms are soft. Place a lid on the skillet to keep the mixture warm.

Step 2

Next, heat the broiler on HIGH, then place the bread slices on a large baking sheet (or use two). Brush the bread with the olive oil on both sides, then place in the oven for 3 minutes. Remove from the oven and carefully flip the bread over, then top each piece with a slice of cheese. Place back into the oven for about 2 minutes or until the cheese has melted.

Step 3

To assemble: place the toasted cheesy bread slices onto a serving platter, then spoon some of the mushroom mixture overtop of each piece. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, fresh thyme and optionally, drizzle with a little balsamic glaze. Enjoy!
