Number Of Ingredients 12

4 slices baguette
Extra-virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons unsalted butter
1/2 cup fresh morels, cleaned
1 teaspoon minced shallot
2 tablespoons cream sherry
1/4 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup shelled, peeled fava beans
1/8 cup thinly sliced ramp leaves or chives
1 slice cooked bacon, crumbled
Shaved aged Sonoma Jack or Parmesan cheese, for garnish
Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  • Brush both sides of baguette slices with olive oil and place on a baking sheet. Transfer to oven and bake, turning once, until lightly browned, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Remove from oven and set aside.
  • Melt butter in a medium skillet over high heat; cook until butter is lightly browned. Add morels and shallot and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Add sherry to deglaze and cook until almost evaporated. Add cream and let cook until reduced and thickened slightly. Stir in fava beans and ramp leaves or chives.
  • Divide morel mixture evenly among toasted baguette slices; top with crumbled bacon and garnish with cheese. Serve.

These crostini were a bit too salty for my taste, but I think that's because I used store-bought pesto. I'll definitely be making them again with homemade pesto.
