Shitake Mushroom And Fontina Crostini Recipe

Directions:

1. Heat the oil over medium heat in a large sauté pan.
2. Add the shallot & garlic and cook until soft but not browned. Add the mushrooms, thyme, wine and salt.
3. Cook until the liquid has evaporated and the mushrooms are tender - about 15 minutes.
4. Adjust the seasonings and stir in the parsley.
5. For the crostini: Cut twelve slices from the baguette diagonally – slices should be about 3/8” thick and about 4” long.

7. To serve: Top each crostini with the mushroom mushroom mixture and sprinkle with the Fontina cheese. Place back in the oven and bake until the cheese is melted.
