Time 55m

Yield 24 pieces

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/2 baguette, cut into twenty-four 1/4-inch slices
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup mascarpone cheese, chilled
1 tablespoon chopped chives
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 pound assorted mushrooms, torn and cut into bite sized pieces
1 cup red grapes, halved
5 sprigs fresh thyme, leaves removed and stems discarded
2 shallots, sliced into rounds
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sherry vinegar
24 shavings of Parmesan

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Lay the baguette slices out on a straight-sided baking sheet. Brush each slice of baguette with a generous amount of olive oil. Sprinkle evenly with salt and bake until golden brown and crispy, about 8 minutes. Remove the crostini from the tray and set aside to cool.
  • While the crostini bake, combine the mascarpone, chives and salt in a small bowl. Set aside.
  • Increase the oven temperature to 500 degrees F.
  • On the same baking sheet, combine the mushrooms, red grapes, thyme leaves, shallots, olive oil and salt. Toss well to coat and combine. Roast until the mushrooms are beginning to brown and the grapes have released some of their juices, 8 to 10 minutes Scrape the contents of the tray into a medium bowl and toss with the sherry vinegar. Cool to room temperature.
  • To serve, spread each crostini with equal amounts of the mascarpone mixture. Spoon a small amount of the mushroom mixture on top of each crostini. Top each with one shaving of Parmesan.

I've made these crostini several times now, and they're always a hit. They're the perfect combination of sweet and savory, and they're always a crowd-pleaser.

These crostini were a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try them again with less balsamic glaze next time.

I'm not a fan of grapes, so I substituted dried cranberries instead. They worked really well and added a tart sweetness to the crostini.

These were delicious! I used a variety of grapes, including red, green, and black, and they all added a different flavor to the crostini. I also used a balsamic glaze that I made myself, and it really took these crostini to the next level.

I'm not a big fan of mushrooms, but I actually really enjoyed these crostini. The grapes and balsamic glaze helped to balance out the earthy flavor of the mushrooms.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my crostini turned out way too salty. I think I'll try it again with half the amount of salt next time.

These crostini were a hit at my last party! Everyone loved the combination of mushrooms and grapes, and the balsamic glaze added a touch of sweetness and sophistication. I'll definitely be making these again.
