Ingredients
- 1 French baguette, sliced into 1/2 inch pieces
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 pound mixed mushrooms (such as cremini, shiitake, and button), finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup dry white wine
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish

Instructions

- Cook the Ragù: In a large skillet, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, sautéing until translucent. Stir in the chopped mushrooms and cook until they release their moisture and become tender.
- Add Wine and Season: Pour in the white wine and let it simmer for a few minutes until reduced. Stir in the thyme, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Assemble: Spoon the mushroom ragù generously onto each toasted baguette slice.
- Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley and grated Parmesan cheese if desired. Serve warm as a festive appetizer.
