Instructions

1. 1.
   Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once shimmering, add the sliced cremini mushrooms in a single layer. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are golden brown and tender.
2. 2.
   Pour in the balsamic vinegar, stirring to coat the mushrooms evenly. Continue cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes until the vinegar is mostly absorbed and the mushrooms are glazed. If they start sticking, lower the heat slightly.
3. 3.
   While the mushrooms are cooking, preheat a pan over medium-high heat and drizzle with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Once hot, place the sourdough slice in the pan and toast for 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden and crispy.
4. 4.
   Once the bread is toasted, sprinkle Gruyère cheese evenly on top. Place the bread on a baking sheet and broil in the oven for 1-2 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned. Watch closely to prevent burning.
5. 5.
   Remove the toast from the oven and top with the balsamic mushrooms. If desired, drizzle with a bit more olive oil for added richness. Serve immediately for best flavor and texture.
