Ingredients
  

Roasted Garlic
  • 2 garlic bulbs tops sliced off
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
Creamy Mushroom Topping
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 16 oz cremini mushrooms sliced
  • 1 shallot finely diced
  • 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 0.5 tsp black pepper
  • 0.25 tsp red pepper flakes optional
  • 4 oz cream cheese softened
  • 0.33 cup heavy cream
  • 0.25 cup parmesan cheese grated
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley chopped
Toast
  • 4 slices artisan sourdough bread thick sliced
  • 1 tbsp olive oil for brushing
  • 2 tbsp parmesan cheese for garnish

Equipment

  • Large skillet
  • Baking sheet
  • Mixing bowls
  • Knife and cutting board

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice tops from garlic bulbs, drizzle with olive oil, wrap in foil, and roast for 35–40 minutes until soft.
  2. Allow roasted garlic to cool slightly, then squeeze cloves into a bowl and mash into a paste.
  3. Heat butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  4. Add mushrooms and cook until deeply golden brown, about 8–10 minutes.
  5. Stir in shallot, thyme, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Cook 2 minutes more.
  6. Reduce heat to medium-low. Stir in roasted garlic, cream cheese, and heavy cream until smooth.
  7. Mix in parmesan cheese and parsley. Cook until creamy and heated through.
  8. Brush sourdough slices with olive oil and toast until golden and crisp.
  9. Spoon creamy mushroom mixture over toasted bread. Garnish with parmesan and herbs before serving.

Notes

For best flavor, use a combination of mushroom varieties and serve immediately while the toast is crisp.
