Step 1: Prepare the Cauliflower Mushroom Topping

In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for a minute until fragrant.

Add the cauliflower mushrooms and fresh thyme leaves to the skillet. Sauté until the mushrooms are tender and any liquid has evaporated. Season with salt and black pepper. Set aside.

Bake in the pre-heated oven for about 8-10 minutes or until the edges are golden and crisp.

Step 4: Assemble the Crostini

Spread a generous layer of the blue cheese mixture onto each crostini.

Top the blue cheese spread with a spoonful of the sautéed cauliflower mushroom mixture.
