Melted Gruyère Mushroom Toasts

Print Recipe

Savory sautéed mushrooms on toasted rustic bread, topped with melty Gruyère cheese and fresh thyme – a comforting and flavorful open-faced sandwich perfect for lunch or cozy evenings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 slices rustic sourdough or French bread
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 cups cremini or baby bella mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup shredded Gruyère cheese
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly toast the bread slices on a baking sheet for 5–6 minutes, until crisp on the edges.
  2. In a skillet over medium heat, melt butter and add olive oil. Sauté the mushrooms for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned and tender.
  3. Add garlic, salt, and pepper, and cook for another minute. Remove from heat.
  4. Divide the mushroom mixture evenly over the toasted bread slices.
  5. Top each slice with shredded Gruyère cheese.
  6. Return to the oven and bake for 5–7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbling.
  7. Garnish with fresh thyme leaves and serve warm.

Notes

  • For extra depth, add a splash of white wine or balsamic vinegar to the mushrooms while sautéing.
  • Use any good melting cheese if Gruyère isn’t available, such as Swiss or fontina.
  • Serve with a side salad for a light yet satisfying meal.
