Ingredients:

Serving

1 tbsp olive oil, plus more for brushing polenta
1 tbsp unsalted butter
6 oz assorted sliced mushrooms (button , portabellas , shiitake , etc.)
1 1/2 tbsp chopped fresh thyme , plus more for garnish
salt and freshly ground pepper
2 tbsp heavy cream
1 18- oz tube pre-cooked polenta
4 oz brie, sliced into 12 pieces

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Heat a sauté pan over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of the oil and butter. When butter has melted, add mushrooms and thyme, and season with salt and pepper. Cook 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add cream, and simmer 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and brush lightly with olive oil. Carefully open the polenta and slice it into 1/2 thick rounds (you should have 12 total). Spread rounds on parchment paper, about an inch apart and brush lightly with olive oil. Season rounds with salt and pepper. Bake 10-12 minutes, or until lightly toasted.
Remove rounds from oven and carefully flip with a small spatula. Top with Brie slices, then divide mushrooms and juices among the toasts. Season with pepper. Return to oven and bake 5 minutes, or until Brie has melted.
Serve hot, garnished with fresh thyme, if desired.
