Note: All of these pictures were taken by me. However, the original recipe was found on Closet Cooking.

Step 1: Caramelize Your Mushrooms

Directions:
1. Heat the oil in a pan.
2. Add the onion and cook until it starts to caramelize, about 20-30 minutes.
3. Add the mushrooms and saute until they start to caramelize, about 20-30 minutes.
4. Add the garlic and thyme and saute until fragrant, about a minute.
5. Season with salt and pepper.
6. Add the wine, deglaze the pan and cook until it has evaporated.

Step 2: Top Brie With Mushrooms

7. Place the brie on an oven proof serving platter, top with the mushrooms and bake in a preheated 350F oven until the cheese melts, about 8-10 minutes.

Note: I don't actually own an oven proof serving platter, so I used a round frying pan and covered it with tin foil. Surprisingly, it worked great! The cheese didn't stick to it, either.

Step 3: Your Brie Is Melted!

Now you can use a large spoon to place your brie and mushrooms onto a sliced baguette or crackers.

Step 4: Serve.

Enjoy!
