Mushroom Crostini Recipe

4

Ingredients

1 small (or 1/2 large) baguette
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for brushing
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
1 shallot, thinly sliced into rings
8 ounces chanterelles or other wild mushrooms, trimmed and coarsely chopped
12 rounds (1/4 inch thick) goat cheese, cut from a log (about 6 ounces), room temperature

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Cut baguette crosswise into 12 quarter-inch thick slices; place on a baking sheet. Brush with oil; season with salt and pepper. Toast in the middle of oven until golden, 8 to 10 minutes. Set aside to cool.

Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add shallot; cook, stirring, until soft, about 3 minutes. Add mushrooms; cook, stirring occasionally, until tender and any juices have evaporated, 7 to 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

Place a round of goat cheese on top of each crostini; top with a tablespoon of mushroom mixture. Sprinkle with chives. Serve warm.
