1. 1

   Butter and olive oil are melted in a pan , then sliced shallots and garlic get sautéed until they start to get a little soft. Next, you add your thinly sliced porcini mushrooms and season them with a little salt , pepper , and thyme . I couldn’t get my hands on fresh porcini mushrooms so I used baby bella mushrooms instead.

   While all of this is cooking on the stove, toast up two thick slices of crusty bread . My preference is a yummy sourdough boule, but feel free to go with what you’d like! You’ll also need to whisk up some softened mascarpone cheese with a bit of olive oil, salt , and pepper . Once your bread is crunchy, your mushrooms are flavorful, and your mascarpone is seasoned, spread the cheese onto the bread, top with the sautéed mushrooms, and sprinkle with some thyme , flaky salt , and grated Parmesan .
