Time 30m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 cups wild mushrooms (chanterelle, shitake, oyster, button mushrooms can be used as a filler if some others are not availa)
1 shallot, finely chopped
1 garlic clove, crushed
1 tablespoon flat leaf parsley, chopped
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1/4 teaspoon salt (adjust to your liking)
1/8 teaspoon pepper (adjust to your liking)
1/4 cup asiago cheese or 1/4 cup parmesan cheese, finely grated
1/2 cup basil pesto (your favorite homemade recipe or jarred)
1 French baguette

Steps:

  • In a frying pan heat butter over medium/high heat. Add mushrooms and saute (stirring frequently to prevent burning) until liquid evaporates (about 3-5 min.). Add shallots and garlic, saute for 1 more minute. Add flat-leaf parsley, salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat.
  • Slice baguette on 1 inch diagonals.
  • Brush one side with olive oil. Place slices on a baking sheet(oil side up) and broil in oven until LIGHTLY golden brown (this happens quickly so don't walk away).
  • Remove from oven and spread each slice with basil pesto and topped with mushroom mixture. Last but not least sprinkle with cheese. Return to a preheated 375 degree F. oven. Bake until cheese is melted and center toppings are hot (about 2-5 minutes).
  • Serve Hot.

This recipe is missing some important instructions. It doesn't say how long to cook the mushrooms or how to make the pesto.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my bruschetta turned out really bland. I think I might have used the wrong kind of mushrooms.

I love that this dish can be made with a variety of different mushrooms. I've tried it with shiitake, oyster, and cremini mushrooms, and they all work well.

The grilled bread was the perfect base for the mushrooms and pesto. It was crispy and flavorful, and it held up well to the toppings.
