Instructions

1. 1.
   Begin by heating olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add sliced mushrooms and cook for about 7-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and all the moisture has evaporated. This will intensify the mushroom flavor and give them a nice caramelized texture.
2. 2.
   While the mushrooms are cooking, toast the slice of sourdough bread until it is golden and crispy. You can use a toaster or an oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 5 minutes. A crusty, well-toasted bread will provide the perfect base for the toppings.
3. 3.
   Once the mushrooms are done, remove the skillet from heat and stir in the fresh thyme. Add a pinch of salt and pepper to taste. The heat from the skillet will gently release the essential oils from the thyme, enhancing the fragrance and flavor of the mushrooms.
4. 4.
   Spread the crumbled goat cheese evenly over the toasted bread. The warmth of the bread will slightly melt the cheese, creating a creamy base that complements the earthiness of the mushrooms.
5. 5.
   Top the goat cheese layer with the cooked mushrooms. Serve the tartine immediately for the best texture and flavor contrast. If the tartine becomes too cool, quickly reheat it in the oven for a few minutes to restore its crispness and warmth.
