Ingredients

• 6 slices of bread
• 2 cups mushrooms, finely chopped
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves of garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1/4 teaspoon dried rosemary
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Directions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Using a rolling pin, flatten each slice of bread to remove the crusts.
3. Lightly grease a muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray.
4. Press each flattened bread slice into the muffin cups to form cups. Make sure the bread is pressed firmly against the sides of the cups to create a sturdy cup shape.
5. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent and the garlic becomes fragrant.
6. Add the finely chopped mushrooms to the skillet. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms release their moisture and start to brown.
7. Season the mushroom mixture with dried thyme, dried rosemary, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
8. Remove the skillet from the heat and let the mushroom mixture cool slightly.
9. Evenly divide the mushroom mixture among the bread cups in the muffin tin, filling each cup to the top.
10. Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the mushroom filling in each cup.
11. Bake the mushroom toast cups in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until the bread cups are golden brown and crispy.
12. Once baked, remove the toast cups from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes.
13. Gently remove the mushroom toast cups from the muffin tin and transfer them to a serving platter or individual plates.
14. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve warm.
