CREAMED-MUSHROOM BRUSCHETTA WITH CARAMELIZED ONIONS
Start by making the caramelized onions. These take a great deal of time. The onions here, barely slicked with neutral oil, surrounded by sweet wine, can take up to 30 minutes to achieve the excellence you are looking for. You stir and stir and stir.

Steps:
- Heat a heavy-bottomed pan over high heat. Once the pan is hot, add vegetable oil. Once the oil shimmers, add the onions and salt. Do not stir immediately. Wait 1 minute, then begin to stir frequently over high heat for 5 minutes, or until the onions have released liquid and started to become translucent.
- Turn the heat down to medium and add Marsala. Cook, stirring often, for what will seem like an eternity, until the onions are fully melted and dark brown, approximately 20 to 30 minutes.
- Heat a heavy-bottomed pan with high sides over high heat. Once the pan is hot, add vegetable oil. Once the oil shimmers, add butter. When butter foams, add mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms have released their liquid and are golden brown, approximately 15 to 20 minutes.
- Reduce heat to medium low and, using a wooden spoon, create a well in the middle of the mushrooms. Add thyme, salt, black pepper and shallots; sweat until shallots have cooked through and become translucent, approximately 3 to 5 minutes.
- Return heat to high and add sherry vinegar to deglaze pan, then add cream and bring to a low boil.
- Check for seasoning. Mushrooms can be reserved until needed, then reheated over a medium flame. Add a splash of extra cream to loosen, if needed.
- Grill or toast bread to a light char.
- Spread 2 tablespoons caramelized onions over each piece of toast, followed by approximately 1/4 cup of creamed mushrooms.
- Garnish with minced chives.

Steps:
- Toast your bread in a toaster or on the grill, or if you are lucky enough to own one, an Italian stovetop toaster.
- In a large pan over medium-high heat, heat 3 tablespoons olive oil. Once hot, add the garlic and saute until fragrant. Add the mushrooms, salt and pepper, and another sprinkling olive oil. Reduce the heat to medium and cook for about 10 to 12 minutes, stirring often. Add the parsley and thyme, cook for another 5 minutes.
- Serve the mushrooms warm, on top of the bread slices, dress with some extra salt, pepper, and extra-virgin olive oil.
Tips:
- For the best flavor, use fresh mushrooms. If you can't find fresh mushrooms, you can use dried mushrooms, but be sure to soak them in hot water for 30 minutes before using.
- Use a variety of mushrooms for a more complex flavor. Some good options include cremini mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, and oyster mushrooms.
- If you don't have a food processor, you can chop the mushrooms by hand. Just be sure to chop them very finely.
- Use a good quality olive oil for the best flavor. Extra virgin olive oil is a good choice.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the mushrooms. If you do, they will steam instead of brown.
- Season the mushrooms with salt and pepper to taste.
- Toast the bread slices before assembling the bruschetta. This will help them to hold up better under the weight of the toppings.
- Serve the bruschetta immediately after it is assembled. This will prevent the bread from getting soggy.

Creamy mushroom bruschetta is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. It is made with fresh mushrooms, creamy cheese, and toasted bread. The mushrooms are cooked in a creamy sauce and then spooned onto the toasted bread. The bruschetta can be topped with additional cheese, herbs, or vegetables.
