Ingredients
Scale
- 1 baguette (sliced into 1/2 inch thick rounds)
- 250 g Baby Bella mushrooms (thinly sliced)
- 1 package Brie cheese (sliced)
- 2 garlic cloves (minced)
- 1/4 cup apple vinegar
- Olive oil (for brushing)
- Fresh parsley (finely chopped for garnish)
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Arrange baguette slices on a baking sheet and brush both sides with olive oil. Toast for about 3-5 minutes until golden brown.
- In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and sauté minced garlic until fragrant. Add sliced mushrooms, cooking until golden brown (about 5-7 minutes). Pour in vinegar and simmer until reduced by half, then season with salt, pepper, and optional red pepper flakes.
