- 1 tablespoon butter
- Thyme (to taste)

For the Sandwich Assembly:

Instructions
1. Prepare the Baguette
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
- Slice the baguette into sandwich-sized pieces, then cut each piece in half lengthwise.
- Brush the cut sides of the baguette with olive oil and sprinkle with a pinch of salt.
- Place the baguette halves on a baking sheet and toast in the oven for 5–7 minutes, or until golden and crispy.
2. Make the Mushroom Filling
- Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the finely chopped onion and sauté until soft and translucent, about 3–4 minutes.
- Add the sliced mushrooms and cook until they release their moisture and start to brown, about 6–8 minutes.
- Stir in the butter, thyme, salt, black pepper, and minced garlic. Cook for another 2–3 minutes until the mushrooms are fully cooked and fragrant.
- Remove the skillet from heat and set aside the mushroom filling.
3. Assemble the Sandwiches
- Spread the mushroom filling evenly on the bottom halves of the toasted baguette pieces.
- Sprinkle grated cheese generously over the mushrooms.
- Layer the tomato slices on top of the cheese, then season with a pinch of salt, oregano, and basil.
- Place the top halves of the baguette on the sandwiches.
4. Final Toast
- Return the assembled sandwiches to the baking sheet.
- Bake for 5–7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
5. Serve
- Remove the sandwiches from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
- Serve warm and enjoy these crispy, cheesy, and flavorful mushroom sandwiches!
