Toppings:

  • ⅛ tsp fresh thyme (pinch)

Instructions

  • Make the Béchamel Sauce by placing the butter in a small pot over low heat to melt, then add the flour. Stir and cook for a few minutes, then begin adding the milk a little at a time. Continue stirring and adding until it's all used and you have a creamy sauce. Add the salt, pepper and nutmeg and taste to adjust seasoning.
  • Spread some of the Béchamel Sauce onto each slice of lightly toasted bread until it is covered. Sprinkle with some fresh thyme.
  • Next, add the goat cheese to each piece and top with the mushrooms of your choice.
  • Sprinkle with some Gruyère cheese and grill/broil until hot and bubbly. Works well in an air fryer, too.
  • Cut in half to serve, put on a plate and garnish with some thyme. Add some colorful pickles or salad to the plate.

Notes

  • Quality of ingredients are key!
