Garlicky Thyme and Mushroom tartines


Garlicky Thyme and Mushroom tartines
  • Extra virgin olive oil
  • 150g mixed mushrooms
  • 50g butter – softened
  • 25g grated cheddar or parmesan
  • 1 crushed clove of garlic
  • 1 tbsp chopped thyme leaves
  • Zest of half a lemon
  • 2 large slices of country bread – halved

Method:

  • Preheat your oven to 200°C, 180°C fan and drizzle a suitable sized baking tray (large enough to hold the bread slices) with olive oil.
  • Finely chop half of the mushrooms and mix in a bowl with the butter, cheese, garlic, thyme, lemon zest and some seasoning.
  • With the bread slices arranged on the baking tray, spread the mixture to cover the bread right to the edges.
  • Slice the remaining mushrooms thinly and arrange on top.
  • Drizzle each slice with olive oil and bake in the pre-heated oven for about 15 minutes or until the base of the bread is crisp and the mushrooms tender.

Serve with a green leafy salad.
