Ingredients
  

  • 1 baguette Sliced into 1/2 inch thick rounds
  • 3 tbsp olive oil divided (1 tbsp for brushing, 2 tbsp for the mushrooms)
  • 250 g Baby Bella Mushrooms- thinly sliced
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves
  • 1/4 cup Marsala wine
  • 1 package Brie Cheese - sliced
  • salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 bunch fresh parsley finely chopped for garnish
  • 1 dash crushed red pepper flakes OPTIONAL to add a little heat

Instructions
 

  • **Prepare the Baguette**  
    a. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.   
    b. Place the baguette slices on the lined baking sheet.   
    c. Brush both sides of each slice with olive oil.   
    d. Toast for 8 to 10 minutes, until lightly golden and crisp.
    Remove and set aside.
  • **Cook the Mushrooms**  
    a. In a large skillet, heat about 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat.   
    b. Add the garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.   
    c. Add the sliced Baby Bella mushrooms to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms release their moisture and become golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.   
    d. Pour in the Marsala wine and let it simmer until the liquid reduces by half, which should take about 2-3 minutes.   
    e. Sprinkle in the thyme leaves and season with salt and pepper. If you're using red pepper flakes, add them now.
    Stir to combine and remove from heat.
  • **Assemble the Crostinis**  
    a. Lay a slice of Brie on each toasted baguette slice. Make sure the slice of brie covers the crostini.    
    b. Spoon a generous amount of the mushroom mixture over the Brie.   
    c. Place the loaded baguette slices back on the baking sheet.
  • **Bake**  
    Transfer the baking sheet back to the oven and bake for 4 to 6 minutes, or just until the Brie starts to melt.
  • **Serve**  
    a. Remove from the oven and let them cool for a minute.   
    b. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.   
    c. Serve immediately while the Brie is still warm and gooey.
    d. ENJOY!
