Time 30m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 cups wild mushrooms (chanterelle, shitake, oyster, button mushrooms can be used as a filler if some others are not availa)
1 shallot, finely chopped
1 garlic clove, crushed
1 tablespoon flat leaf parsley, chopped
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1/4 teaspoon salt (adjust to your liking)
1/8 teaspoon pepper (adjust to your liking)
1/4 cup asiago cheese or 1/4 cup parmesan cheese, finely grated
1/2 cup basil pesto (your favorite homemade recipe or jarred)
1 French baguette

Steps:

  • In a frying pan heat butter over medium/high heat. Add mushrooms and saute (stirring frequently to prevent burning) until liquid evaporates (about 3-5 min.). Add shallots and garlic, saute for 1 more minute. Add flat-leaf parsley, salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat.
  • Slice baguette on 1 inch diagonals.
  • Brush one side with olive oil. Place slices on a baking sheet(oil side up) and broil in oven until LIGHTLY golden brown (this happens quickly so don't walk away).
  • Remove from oven and spread each slice with basil pesto and topped with mushroom mixture. Last but not least sprinkle with cheese. Return to a preheated 375 degree F. oven. Bake until cheese is melted and center toppings are hot (about 2-5 minutes).
  • Serve Hot.
