Description
Mushrooms add the perfect twist to one of my favorite appies, bruschetta. A great party appetizer or date night treat!
Ingredients
Scale
- 500g mushrooms
- 2 cloves of garlic
- 2–3 sprigs of fresh thyme
- 2 tablespoons of minced fresh Italian parsley
- Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- Salt
- Pepper
- Thinly sliced French Baguette
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (170 C).
- Put 1 tablespoon of olive oil into a small bowl and use a pastry brush to lightly coat the top of each slice of bread with oil.
- Place the bread on a baking sheet and bake until the crostini is golden brown and crisp (6-7 minutes).
- When the crostini is done, remove the pan from the oven and give each piece a swipe with a clove of garlic.
- In a medium-sized sauté pan, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil and minced garlic. Add the mushrooms and thyme and sauté until most of the moisture has evaporated from the mushrooms.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste and then add the parsley.
- Turn off the heat when there is no liquid remaining and then add the parsley, stirring to distribute evenly.
- When you’re ready to serve the bruschetta, top each slice of crostini with the mushroom mixture and warm up in the oven.
- If you like you can top with a scoop of goat cheese or freshly grated parmesan before serving.
Notes
- I like to get my baguette pre-sliced i.e. at Terra breads for even slices and to save work before a party!
- Use your favorite gluten free bread or cracker for a gluten free version
