Categories     appetizer

Time 50m

Yield 3 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 ounce dried porcini mushrooms
8 ounces white button mushrooms, quartered
1/2 cup walnuts, toasted
2 garlic cloves
1 1/2 cups fresh Italian parsley leaves
3/4 cup olive oil
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
36 slices (1/2-inch-thick) baguette bread

Steps:

  • Place the porcini mushrooms in a bowl of hot water; press to submerge. Let stand until the mushrooms are tender, about 15 minutes. Scoop out mushrooms, being carefully not to stir any dirt that may have sunk to the bottom of the water. Discard mushroom water.
  • Combine the porcini mushrooms, button mushrooms, walnuts, garlic, and parsley in a food processor and pulse until coarsely chopped. With the machine running, gradually add 1/2 cup of the oil, blending just until the mushrooms are finely chopped.
  • Transfer the mushroom mixture to a medium bowl. Stir in the Parmesan. Season the pesto with salt and pepper, to taste. If not using mushroom pesto right away, cover tightly with plastic wrap to prevent possible discoloration of mushrooms.
  • Preheat a grill pan to medium-high heat. Arrange the bread slices on pan, cut-side down. Brush the remaining 1/4 cup of oil over the bread slices. Cook until pale golden and crisp, about 5 minutes.
  • Alternatively, you can toast the bread in the oven. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Arrange the bread slices on 2 heavy large baking sheet. Brush the remaining 1/4 cup of oil over the bread slices. Bake until pale golden and crisp, about 15 minutes.
  • Spread the mushroom pesto over the crostini. Arrange the crostini on a platter and serve.

Wild Mushroom Crostini image

Sauteed wild mushrooms are delicious served with grilled bread brushed with olive oil. White button mushrooms can be substituted for the wild mushrooms.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Appetizers     Finger Food Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 ounce dried porcini mushrooms
3 cloves garlic, peeled
1/2 cup flat-leaf parsley, chopped
1/2 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
1 long Italian or French bread, sliced 1/4 inch thick on the diagonal
Extra-virgin olive oil, for bread
1/2 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves, (about 5 sprigs)
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, or as needed
3 tablespoons olive oil, or as needed
2 shallots, peeled and finely chopped
Freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup dry white wine
2 pounds assorted wild mushrooms, such as shiitake, cremini, oyster, and chanterelle, cut into 3/8-inch slices

Steps:

  • In a bowl, combine dried porcini and 1 1/2 cups hot water. Let sit until soft, about 15 minutes. Remove from soaking liquid. Carefully pour off liquid, leaving sediment in bowl; reserve liquid. Coarsely chop porcini.
  • Chop together garlic, parsley, and salt.
  • Make crostini by grilling or toasting bread under broiler. Brush lightly with extra-virgin olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.
  • In a large saute pan, heat 1 tablespoon butter and 1 tablespoon oil over medium-low heat. Add porcini, shallots, and thyme, and cook, stirring often, until shallots wilt, about 10 minutes. Season well with salt and pepper. Add wine, and cook over medium-high heat until liquid is almost completely reduced, 5 to 7 minutes. Add reserved porcini liquid, and cook until almost completely reduced again, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from heat, transfer to a small bowl, and set aside.
  • Rinse skillet, dry, and return to high heat. Starting with the firmest, cook wild mushrooms in two batches using a tablespoon of butter and oil for each batch. Season well with salt and pepper, and reduce heat to medium. Cook, stirring often, until mushrooms are nearly tender, 5 to 10 minutes. Keep in a large bowl while second batch cooks.
  • Return all the mushrooms to the pan. Add porcini and parsley mixtures. Cook over medium-high heat until garlic gives off an aroma, 2 to 3 minutes. Adjust seasonings, and remove pan from heat.
  • Transfer mushrooms to a bowl and serve with crostini, or spoon a bit of the mushroom mixture on each slice of crostini and arrange on a plate.

Tips:

  • Use fresh mushrooms. Fresh mushrooms will have the best flavor and texture. If you can't find fresh mushrooms, you can use dried mushrooms, but be sure to soak them in warm water for at least 30 minutes before using.
  • Slice the mushrooms thinly. This will help them cook evenly and quickly.
  • Sauté the mushrooms in butter. Butter will help to brown the mushrooms and give them a rich flavor.
  • Season the mushrooms with salt and pepper. This will help to enhance their flavor.
  • Add some fresh herbs to the mushrooms. Fresh herbs, such as thyme or rosemary, will add a nice touch of flavor to the mushrooms.
  • Use a good quality bread for the crostini. A good quality bread will be sturdy enough to hold up to the mushrooms and cheese.
  • Toast the bread before assembling the crostini. This will help to make the bread crispy and flavorful.
  • Top the crostini with the mushrooms and cheese. You can use any type of cheese that you like, but a sharp cheddar or Gruyère cheese will work well.
  • Bake the crostini until the cheese is melted and bubbly. This will take about 10 minutes.
  • Serve the crostini immediately. They are best served warm and fresh out of the oven.

Conclusion:

Warm mushroom crostini are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. They are made with fresh mushrooms, sautéed in butter and seasoned with salt and pepper. The mushrooms are then placed on top of toasted bread and topped with cheese. The crostini are then baked until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Warm mushroom crostini are a surefire hit with your guests!
