Instructions

  1. Step 1: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 3 minced garlic cloves and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  2. Step 2: Add 8 oz sliced white button mushrooms and cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms are golden and most moisture has evaporated.
  3. Step 3: Add 4 cups fresh spinach leaves to the skillet, season with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper, and cook, stirring, for 2-3 minutes until spinach wilts.
  4. Step 4: Meanwhile, toast 4 slices of sourdough bread until golden and crisp.
  5. Step 5: Divide the sautéed spinach and mushroom mixture evenly over the toasted bread slices and sprinkle each with about 1 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese.
