Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a 12-inch nonstick skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sauté garlic until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add mushrooms and sauté 3 to 4 minutes. Pour in wine; increase heat to high and cook, stirring, until liquid evaporates, about 5 minutes. Mix in salt and pepper.

Arrange bread on a large baking sheet. Top each piece with a slice of mozzarella. Bake 5 to 7 minutes, until cheese is melted.

Top crostini with mushroom mixture; sprinkle with parsley. Serve warm.
