Recipe Type: Appetizer
Makes: 6 servings

Ingredients
  • 1 baguette , cut on the bias into 1/2-inch thick slices
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil , divided
  • 1/2 pound mushrooms , brushed clean, stems removed, and sliced (I used a mix of crimini, oyster, and shiitake)
  • 3 large cloves garlic , divided
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • sea salt and black pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves
  • 2 tablespoons minced parsley leaves , plus more for garnish
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  2. Pour 1 tablespoon olive oil into a small bowl, brush each side of baguette slices with olive oil, and sprinkle with sea salt and black pepper. Arrange on a baking sheet and set in the oven. Toast each side for 10 minutes, or until golden brown. Rub each side of toast with one clove garlic. Set aside.
  3. Mince remaining two garlic cloves.
  4. Set a medium-sized skillet over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil. When oil is hot, add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds. Add mushrooms, and up heat slightly. Toss in a generous pinch of sea salt and pepper, plus lemon zest. When mushrooms have cooked down a bit, add lemon juice. Sauté mushrooms, stirring occasionally, for a total of 10 minutes. Remove from heat, and toss mushrooms with parsley and thyme.
  5. Spoon mushrooms onto prepared toasts. Finish each with a sprinkle of parsley, and a tiny pinch of sea salt and black pepper. Serve warm.
