Mushroom Crostini
An easy recipe for mushroom crostini that is always a hit at any gathering. Serve warm or cold with mushrooms of your choice. Ready in less than 30 minutes!
Ingredients
- 1 French baguette (sliced, see note 1)
- 11 ounces button mushrooms (320 grams, quartered and sliced, see note 2)
- 2 tablespoon olive oil (30 milliliters, see note 3)
- ½ teaspoon dry thyme
- ½ teaspoon dry rosemary
- ½ teaspoon salt (or to taste, see note 4)
- 2 teaspoons low-sodium soy sauce
- black pepper (to taste)
- 7 ounce goat cheese log (180 grams see note 5)
- 4 garlic cloves (peeled & pressed)
- 2 tablespoons butter (30 grams)
- ¼ cup fresh parsley (finely chopped)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 Fahrenheit/200 Celsius.
- Place sliced baguette onto a baking sheet (9x13 inch/22x33 centimeter or larger) and bake until crispy and golden brown around the edges, about 10 minutes (see note 6).
- Meanwhile: In a skillet/frying pan, heat the oil. Add sliced mushrooms and saute fo 5 minutes on medium-high, stirring occasionally. Next, add thyme, rosemary, salt and soy sauce and cook until the mushrooms are soft, about 4 minutes.
- Throw in pressed garlic and cook until it releases aroma, about a minute. Turn off the heat and stir in parsley and butter. The butter should melt but if it doesn’t return to heat.
- To assemble: Place a very thin slice of goat cheese onto crostini and top with mushroom mixture.
- Enjoy!
Notes
- I used a 19-inch/48-centimeter long baguette, about 7 ounces/220 grams in weight. Cut it into ¼-inch/1-centimeter slices.
- You can use slightly more mushrooms but not less! Button, portobello, cremini or wild mushrooms will all work great here.
- I highly recommend using olive oil here but if you don’t have it on hand use vegetable, sunflower or other mild tasting oil.
- Adjust the quantity of salt only at the end.
- Either the President brand or other.
- The time can vary slightly depending on the thickness of the slices, on your oven as well as the freshness of the bread. A fresh bread takes longer to crips up than a day or two old. Count with 9-13 minutes but it should not go over 15 minutes!
- Mushroom topping as well as toasted bread can be prepared in advance.
- Mushroom topping will need to be reheated if you see that the solidified butter formed crystals like pieces.
