Ingredients
- 6 white mushrooms
- 2 small garlic cloves peeled
- 1 tbsp thyme
- a handful parmesan cheese grated
- 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 6 slices French bread
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- pepper
- salt
Instructions
-
Rub a garlic clove on one side of the French bread slices. Don’t exaggerate, the garlic flavor is strong.
-
Grill the bread under a hot grill for about 3 minutes until crisp and a little golden. Don’t burn them! In the meantime chop up the other peeled garlic clove finely and add it together with the olive oil to a medium non-stick pan.
-
Place the pan over medium heat and gently fry the garlic for 5 minutes in the hot oil. Don’t let it burn! In the meantime carefully brush and clean the white mushrooms using a soft brush and trim them if necessary. Chop up the white mushrooms into smaller bite-size pieces. Then add them to the fried garlic in the hot pan together with the fresh thyme leaves.
-
Stir and bake the mushrooms for 6 more minutes or until brown and cooked through. Then pour in half of the balsamic vinegar. Season with a pinch of pepper and salt.
-
Stir the mushrooms well and cook them for another minute until the balsamic vinegar is fully absorbed. Then take the pan off the heat and check the seasoning of the mushrooms. Add extra pepper, salt or balsamic vinegar to taste if necessary. Then let the mushrooms cool a little. Then top the lightly grilled slices of French bread evenly with the cooked balsamic mushrooms. Sprinkle some grated parmesan cheese on the mushrooms. Season with extra pepper to taste if you like.
-
Grill the crostini for another couple of minutes under a hot grill until the parmesan cheese has melted nicely. Then place the warm crostini onto a clean plate and serve immediately while still hot.
