Ingredients

1 large ciabatta loaf or bread of choice
1/2 pound butter softened
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 heads of garlic roasted, 4 garlic if you want it extra garlicky
1 pound mushrooms assorted, we're using crimini and baby bella mushrooms
1 handful of parsley
1 handful of fresh basil
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

To begin, take out your butter to room temperature. Set aside. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees for the your garlic.
Slice the tops off your garlic, season with salt, pepper and drizzle olive oil. Roast and bake in aluminum foil in a preheated oven for 40-50 minutes until roasted and able to soft squeeze. Keep the oven on for the bread later on.
Grill your mushrooms. In the meantime while that's roasting, rub, clean and slice your mushroom mix. Heat a skillet or frying pan on medium high heat to high heat with a drizzle of olive oil and add the mushrooms in, bring it down to lower heat. Saute, mix and cook down with salt and pepper for about 20-30 minutes until dark in color (golden brown) and caramelized, on a low to medium heat so it doesn't burn.
Make your garlic butter spread. In a blender or food processor, add in your softened butter, the grilled mushrooms, squeeze out the roasted garlic and add parsley, basil and parmesan. Adjust with salt and pepper. Pulse until all combined.
Take your ciabatta / bread of choice and slice open lengthwise. Spread your garlic butter mushroom mixture all over. Bake for 20-25 minutes until all the butter has melted completely and the bread is toasted.
Remove and slice into wide strips or cubes to serve! Finish with freshly grated parmesan and fresh basil.
