  • Preheat your oven to 425 and grease a small sheet pan.

  • Option to add more thyme or salt and pepper and to drizzle with balsamic reduction. Serve immediately.

Notes

Baguette – You may use any loaf of bread you like! I choose a small baguette from trader joes (it is actually take and bake) because I wanted a smaller top (meaning more pieces!).
Mushrooms - Mushrooms are important star to this recipe, but if you are against mushrooms, you may use apasrgus.
Butternut Squash - Again, another star. If you need to sub this, you may use acorn squash or sweet potatoes.
Garlic – You certainty can leave this out! It is to add flavor to the mushrooms while they are cooking.
Vegan Cream Cheese – You may also use a vegan ricotta or vegan brie. You may use regular cream cheese, as well as another smooth based cheese.
Thyme – You may use oregano or omit this.
Oil - You may use any oil you usually use in a skillet. I used olive oil.
