Mushrooms and thyme are best mates. Combine them with balsamic vinegar and it makes an irresistible combination to pile onto toasted bread lightly rubbed with garlic. This makes a great breakfast, light lunch or a perfect appetiser, and it only takes 10 minutes to make.

Mushrooms and thyme are a match made in heaven. With the addition of a drizzle of balsamic, this is an irresistible combination to pile high onto toasted bread rubbed lightly with olive oil.

- 1 tsp sugar
- 1 tbsp thyme leaves
- Salt and pepper
- Half clove of garlic , unpeeled
- 4 slices bread
- Extra olive oil , for drizzling
Instructions
- Heat oil in large fry pan/skillet over high heat.
- Slice the mushrooms into 1/4"/0.5cm slices.
- Toss into pan and sauté quickly, about a minute or two.
- Add the balsamic and sprinkle sugar over, then stir for another 30 seconds or so to let the balsamic and sugar caramelise.
