Instructions
Gently heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil and garlic together in a skillet over medium to low heat for about one minute. Make sure the garlic doesn’t brown too much, or it will turn bitter.
When the oil is warm, add the mushrooms and stir to coat. Season with salt and pepper, and saute for about 4-5 minutes, or until mushrooms are golden with some crispy edges. Add the lemon juice to the skillet and toss to coat. Cook for one minute more. Remove the mushrooms from the heat and set aside.
Spread the goat cheese evenly over the toasted sourdough slices. Top with the mushrooms and pesto sauce. Garnish with fresh basil leaves and flaky salt.
