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.

- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 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.

- Toast the bread and rub each piece lightly with garlic.
- Pile on the mushroom and serve immediately, drizzled with extra olive oil (if you want).

Made this for breakfast yum! As my herb garden is going nuts, I added sage, oregano and chives. I used a good aged balsamic so for my taste it didn’t need the little bit of sugar. I used ordinary white mushrooms and it was still super tasty!
That sounds absolutely delicious Heather!! N x
Made this mixture, super delicious, and used it crostini sized pieces. To elevate it slightly I put a smear of goat cheese on the crostini and topped with mushrooms. So good.
That sounds delicious!! N x
