4 ounce goat cheese

1/2 tablespoon sherry

1/2 teaspoon dried parsley

1/2 teaspoon dried basil

1/2 teaspoon minced garlic

salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Using a serrated knife, slice baguette into 1/2-inch-thick slices on an angle. Place slices on the prepared baking sheet; brush both sides lightly with olive oil. Bake until crisp and golden brown, 5 to 8 minutes; no need to flip.

Heat olive oil and butter In a skillet over medium heat. Add mushrooms and red onion, and cook, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms are golden and onions are soft and translucent, 6 to 8 minutes. Stir in soy sauce and thyme and cook until fragrant, 30 to 60 seconds. Season with salt and pepper.

Step 5

Spread goat cheese mixture on crostini, top with a spoonful of mushrooms and a sprinkle of thyme leaves, and serve at room temperature.
