I created this one for my BTG Buddha. He is definitely a guy's guy, and loves swiss, mushrooms, and sports. (BTG = Big Tough Guy) :) To use the best herbs for this recipe, try Buddha's Herb Mix for Mushrooms Ingredients:
1 loaf crusty italian bread, sliced thin and toasted (you can use a crusty french bread or a 6 oz bag of new yorker bagel chips works nice also) |
3 garlic cloves, minced |
3 shallots, peeled and chopped fine |
2 tablespoons olive oil |
2 tablespoons red bell peppers, diced small |
4 cups fresh mushrooms, sliced small and thin (assorted) |
1 tablespoon herbs (suggested buddha's herb mix for mushrooms) |
8 ounces swiss cheese, shredded (use the best quality) |
Directions:
1. Place parchment paper onto a cookie sheet (or two). Lay out the toasted bread evenly onto the cookie sheet(s). Set aside.
2. In a large skillet cook garlic and shallots in hot oil over medium-high heat for 2 minutes. Add red peppers, saute 1-2 minutes.
3. Add mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 3-5 minutes or until tender. Stir in assorted herbs.
4. Place a small amount of the mushroom mixture on top of each bread slice. (about 1 tsp each). Sprinkle some chives over the mushrooms. Sprinkle the shredded swiss over top of the chives.
5. Broil on low setting 1-2 minutes or until cheese is melted and bubbly. Serve immediately.
