This recipe combines the earthiness of mushrooms with the pungent aroma of garlic, the tanginess of lemon juice, and the freshness of parsley, all served on a crispy toasted baguette.

Instructions:
- Finely chop the red onion.
- Mince the garlic cloves.
- Slice the mushrooms.
- Chop the parsley.
- Slice the baguette into diagonal pieces to create a larger surface area for toasting.
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
- Arrange the baguette slices on a baking tray in a single layer.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 5-7 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy. You can also toast them in a toaster or on a skillet if preferred.
3. Cook the Garlic Mushrooms:
- In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
- Add the finely chopped red onion and cook for about 3-4 minutes, or until it becomes translucent.
- Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, being careful not to burn the garlic.
- Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Cook for 5-6 minutes until the mushrooms are tender and golden brown, stirring occasionally.
4. Season and Finish:
- Once the mushrooms are cooked, sprinkle in the chopped parsley.
- Pour in the lemon juice and mix well.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir everything together to ensure even seasoning.
5. Assemble and Serve:
- Place the toasted baguette slices on a serving platter.
- Spoon the garlic mushroom mixture generously onto each slice of toasted baguette.
- Serve immediately while warm, optionally garnishing with extra parsley if desired.
Tips:
- Choose fresh mushrooms and clean them carefully with a damp cloth or paper towel. Avoid washing them under running water to prevent them from becoming soggy.
- To achieve a perfect toast, slice the baguette evenly and brush each slice with a little olive oil before toasting.
- For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese on top of the toasted baguette slices before placing the mushroom mixture.
- Adjust the amount of garlic according to your preference. If you love garlic, feel free to add an extra clove or two.
- To enhance the dish further, you can add a splash of white wine while cooking the mushrooms for a richer taste.
