    It's Monday! Oh, goody.

    Actually, my Monday was better than usual today. I got an admission offer from an Ivy League grad school (WOOT) and got to go home early from work. Also, I  made doughnuts last night that I have eaten twice today: as breakfast and as an afternoon snack. (No shame). Overall, best Monday I've had in awhile.

    Several crostini on a white plate, topped with cheese and mushrooms and garnished with fresh parsley.

    ALSO, I get to tell you about these super-spectacular mushroom crostini!

    This book is amazing not only for the inspirational recipes and photography, but because each section is jam-packed with information about Italian cooking, traditions, and tips on how to use different ingredients. Find instructions on how to enter at the end of the post! Because right now, I have to tell you about these crostini.

    You might know that I'm totally obsessed with crostini. Actually, I think I'm 75% obsessed with the bread and 25% obsessed with the snazzy toppings you can use. Whatever that says about me. (Bread RULES).

    This is my absolute favorite way to cook mushrooms, and a bit of cold goat cheese lends a great, tangy kick to the sweet and earthy notes of the mushrooms. Plus, you get to cook with wine. Which is always a win. Bottom line: you should make this. It will add a whole lot of awesome to your life.

    Description

    These easy crostini with wine-soaked mushrooms and a tasty cheese spread are the perfect appetizer for entertaining! Vegetarian.


    Ingredients

    Scale

    For the Crostini:

    • 10 baguette slices
    • 2 Tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

    For the Mushrooms:

    • 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
    • 8 ounces white button or baby portobello mushrooms, sliced thick
    • 3 sprigs fresh thyme
    • 1 clove garlic, minced
    • ½ cup red wine (I used a cabernet sauvignon)
    • 2 Tablespoon balsamic vinegar
    • salt and pepper to taste

    For the Cheese Spread:

    • 2 Tablespoon goat cheese
    • 1 Tablespoon ricotta cheese
    • 1 teaspoon fresh parsley, chopped, plus extra for garnish
    • 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil

    Instructions

    1. Place baguette slices on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Bake at 350 for 8-10 minutes or until bread is crisp and lightly browned.
    2. Heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic and mushrooms. Pull leaves off of the thyme sprigs and add those as well. Add salt and pepper to taste and saute 2 minutes or until mushrooms have begun to reduce.
    3. Add wine and balsamic vinegar to mushrooms and bring to a low simmer. Cook until liquid has almost entirely reduced, about 5 minutes. Any remaining liquid should be the consistency of a thick syrup: you can drizzle this syrup over the crostini for some added flavor! Mushrooms will be very dark in color. Remove from heat and set aside.
    4. In a small bowl, combine all ingredients for the cheese spread. Spread a thin layer of cheese spread onto each crostini, then top with mushrooms and chopped parsley. Serve immediately.

        Hi Katie - Yes! That is what makes these crostini perfect for entertaining. I recommend assembling them as close as possible to when you'll be eating them to be sure the baguette doesn't get too soft.

      I follow you on facebook. You have awesome photos and some great recipes. My favorite Italian dish is margherita pizza (which I only make in the summer with tomatoes and basil from my garden)!
