Ingredients

  • 1 baguette sliced thin into 20-24 slices
  • 3 tbs extra virgin olive oil
  • 4 slices Swiss cheese
  • 1/2 onion finely diced
  • 8 oz mushrooms
  • 1/4 tsp dried thyme leaves
  • 1 tbs fresh parsley
  • 1 tbs balsamic vinegar
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Slice a baguette into thin slices and place onto a shallow baking sheet.
  • Brush 1-2 tbs of olive oil over the tops of the bread. Bake in the oven for 6-8 minutes or until the slices begin to brown.
  • Remove the bread from the oven and then turn the oven off.
  • Add small pieces of swiss cheese to each crostini and place back in the off oven for another 3-4 minutes or until the cheese starts to melt. Remove and set aside.
  • In a medium to large saute pan, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil and finely diced onion.
  • Saute for 6-8 minutes or until the onions have started to brown.
  • Add the sliced mushrooms and dried thyme to the pan. Cook for 10-12 minutes or until the mushrooms have released all of their liquid and have started to brown.
  • Season with a little salt and pepper.
  • Then add the balsamic vinegar. Make sure to use a quality balsamic vinegar.
  • Once the balsamic vinegar has been absorbed remove the mushrooms from the heat. Add the parsley and stir in.
  • Then top each Swiss cheese covered crostini with mushroom mixture.
  • Serve immediately.
