Preheat oven to 425°F.

In a large bowl, combine mushrooms, tomatoes, garlic, olive oil, and salt mixture. Mix well with hands. Arrange evenly in one layer on a large heavy roasting pan. Roast until tender, about 15 minutes. Remove from pan and cool to room temp.

When ready to serve, preheat oven to 425°F. Place the mushrooms in a large casserole dish, drizzle with 1/4 cup chile oil, and top with the cheese. Bake until hot, 5-8 minutes. Remove from oven, garnish with thyme and drizzle with a bit more of the chile oil.

Serve hot.

Risa's notes:

I used a bit less of the chile oil as I didn't want DH to freak out. Otherwise the recipe stands the way it is.
