Ingredients

• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (204°C).
2. Arrange baguette slices on a baking sheet, place in the oven and toast until they are crispy, approximately 5 minutes.
3. While the baguette slices are toasting, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and sauté until it becomes fragrant.
4. Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook until they turn golden brown, typically taking about 5-7 minutes.
5. Pour in the balsamic vinegar and add the minced fresh thyme to the mushrooms. Stir well to combine.
