Ingredients
Hearty sourdough or ciabatta bread
Ground beef
Fresh champignon mushrooms
Fresh garlic
Mozzarella cheese
Cheddar cheese
Fresh parsley
Unsalted butter
Salt
Pepper
Instructions
Start by finely chopping the mushrooms, garlic, and parsley. Set them aside.
In a large skillet over medium heat, add a tablespoon of butter. Once melted, add the ground beef, breaking it up with a spatula. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
Stir in the chopped mushrooms and garlic into the skillet with the beef. Cook for an additional 5 minutes until the mushrooms have released their moisture and softened.
Add salt, pepper, and half of the chopped parsley. Mix well and let it simmer for another 2-3 minutes to meld the flavors together.
While the beef mixture is simmering, preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
Slice your bread into thick pieces and lay them on a baking sheet. Spread a thin layer of butter on one side of each slice.
Spoon the beef and mushroom mixture generously onto the unbuttered side of each toast. Top with a generous amount of cheese.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
Once out of the oven, sprinkle the remaining fresh parsley over the top for a pop of color and flavor.
Serve your Crispy Cheese Beef Mushroom Garlic Toasts hot, with a side of marinara sauce or your favorite dipping sauce, if desired.
