Nonstick vegetable oil spray
4 egg roll wrappers
1/4 cup purchased fat-free Caesar salad dressing
2 tablespoons minced shallots
4 teaspoons Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons water
1/8 teaspoon dried crushed red pepper
14 ounces assorted fresh wild mushrooms (such as oyster, crimini and stemmed shiitake), cut in half
1 1/2 3 1/2-ounce packages mushrooms, trimmed to 1 1/2-inch lengths
1/3 cup (packed) thinly sliced arugula
4 sun-dried tomato halves (not packed in oil), soaked in hot water until tender, then drained and chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Generously spray large baking sheet with nonstick spray. Place 1 egg roll wrapper on work surface. Using 2- to 2 1/4-inch-diameter cookie cutter, cut out 6 rounds from wrapper. Transfer rounds to prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining 3 egg roll wrappers, making 24 rounds total. Spray rounds with nonstick spray. Bake rounds until golden brown, turning once, about 3 minutes per side. Cool.

Place 14 ounces fresh wild mushrooms in large bowl with remaining dressing; toss to coat. Let stand 25 minutes.
  • Arrange half of mushroom mixture in single layer on each prepared baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper. Bake until mushrooms are golden brown, turning mushrooms over halfway through baking, about 12 minutes. Cool slightly. Coarsely chop cooked mushrooms. Return cooked mushrooms to large bowl. Add enoki mushrooms, arugula, sun-dried tomatoes and reserved 1 1/2 tablespoons dressing. Toss to coat. Season to taste with salt and pepper. (Can be prepared 8 hours ahead.

Categories     Vegetable

Time 25m

Yield 10 pieces, 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 of a whole wheat baguette
1 1/2 cups wild mushrooms, cleaned and sliced
1/4 cup prepared pesto sauce
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic, minced
2 tablespoons of freshly grated parmesan cheese
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet.
  • Add garlic and saute for 2-3 minutes until brown over medium-high heat.
  • Add mushrooms and saute for 8-10 minutes until thoroughly cooked.
  • Remove from heat and add sauteed mushrooms to a small mixing bowl of prepared pesto. Toss until mushrooms are evenly coated.
  • Slice whole wheat baguette in half length-wise and then cut into small 1/2 inch slices.
  • Toast until golden brown and then top with mushrooms and Parmesan. Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Choose the right mushrooms. The best mushrooms for crostini are those with a firm texture and a nutty flavor. Avoid mushrooms that are too soft or watery, as they will not hold up well on the crostini.
  • Clean the mushrooms properly. Before cooking the mushrooms, it is important to clean them thoroughly. Use a soft brush to remove any dirt or debris, then rinse the mushrooms under cold water. Do not soak the mushrooms, as this will make them waterlogged.
  • Cook the mushrooms correctly. The best way to cook mushrooms for crostini is to sauté them in a little butter or olive oil. Cook the mushrooms over medium heat until they are browned and tender. Do not overcook the mushrooms, as this will make them tough.
  • Use a good quality bread. The bread you use for your crostini should be firm and sturdy, so that it can support the toppings. A baguette or a country loaf are both good choices.
  • Brush the bread with olive oil. Before toasting the bread, brush it with olive oil. This will help to keep the bread from drying out and will also add flavor.
  • Toast the bread until it is golden brown. Toast the bread in a toaster oven or under a broiler until it is golden brown and crispy.
  • Top the crostini with the mushrooms and other desired toppings. Once the bread is toasted, top it with the sautéed mushrooms and any other desired toppings, such as cheese, herbs, or vegetables.
  • Serve the crostini immediately. Crostini are best served immediately after they are made, while the bread is still warm and crispy.

Conclusion:

Wild mushroom crostini are a delicious and easy appetizer that can be made with a variety of ingredients. With a little planning and preparation, you can create a stunning and impressive dish that will be sure to impress your guests. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy appetizer, give wild mushroom crostini a try!
