Directions
- Slice the shallots into thin rounds (you can use two if you have them).
- Clean the mushrooms and cut them into slices.
- Place a skillet over medium-high heat to warm up.
- Mince the garlic so it’s ready to go.
- 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.
- Strip the thyme leaves from the stems and discard the woody parts.
- Add the garlic, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper to the skillet; stir frequently and cook until fragrant, 1–2 minutes, then remove from heat.
- Toast the bread until it’s browned to your liking.
- Spread the goat cheese over each toast, then top with the warm mushroom mixture.
- Divide the toasts between plates and garnish with the thyme leaves before serving.
Two tips
- Prep the shallots and mushrooms earlier in the day and refrigerate until ready to cook.
- If desired, finish with a light drizzle of balsamic vinegar at serving or add extra thyme for aroma.
