<\/p>\n
3 T. unsalted butter<\/p>\n
2 (8 ounce) packages sliced crimini mushrooms<\/p>\n
\u00c2\u00bc C. white wine<\/p>\n
4 cloves garlic, pressed through garlic press, plus 1 whole clove, peeled, divided use<\/p>\n
2 tsp. thyme leaves<\/p>\n
Salt<\/p>\n
Black pepper<\/p>\n
6 slices of your favorite rustic-style bread<\/p>\n
Herbed Ricotta Spread (recipe below)<\/p>\n
Thyme leaves, for garnish<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Place a cast iron or other heavy bottom skillet or pan over medium-high heat; add in the butter, and once it has melted, add in the mushrooms and saut\u00c3\u00a9 for about 7-8 minutes, until they become a deep golden-brown, and begin to caramelize. (They will, at first, release a good bit of liquid; but then it evaporates, and the mushrooms become almost sticky, and caramelize.)\u00c2\u00a0 Add in the wine, and once it has reduced (after about 30 seconds), add in the 4 cloves of pressed garlic and the thyme, and stir those in to incorporate; once the garlic becomes aromatic, add in a couple of pinches of salt and pepper; set aside and keep warm. Toast your slices of bread, and then rub the remaining whole clove of garlic over each slice. Spread the Herbed Ricotta Spread generously over each slice of the garlicky toast, then spoon generous amounts of the sauteed mushrooms onto each piece; garnish with a little addition thyme, and enjoy.<\/p>\n
