Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 320°F/ 160°C. Line a baking tray with baking paper.

Set aside.1 lb mushrooms/ 450 g + 1 tablespoon butter + 2 sprigs of thyme + fine sea salt and pepper
  3. Cut bread: If using a long baguette, cut it in half first and then cut the halves lengthwise. If using small baguettes, halve them lengthwise.1 long baguette
  4. Top bread: Spread a thin layer of butter onto the baguettes. Top the baguette halves with the fried mushrooms and the sliced ham. Sprinkle with freshly grated cheese and some pepper.8 thin ham slices + 1 cup grated cheese
