Mushroom Bruschetta
Mushroom Bruschetta is an easy appetizer that's ready in under 25 minutes! Toasted cheesy bread topped with caramelized mushrooms, thyme and balsamic, it's an instant crowd-pleaser.
Servings: 20 slices
Ingredients
- 1 french baguette sliced into 1/2" pieces
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 4 oz. gruyere cheese thinly sliced, or more as needed
- 1 tbsp butter or more if needed
- 12 oz. baby bella mushrooms sliced
- 2 garlic cloves chopped
- 1 sprig fresh thyme leaves removed
- 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- balsamic glaze for garnish optional
Instructions
- Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat, then add the mushrooms and sauté for about 5 minutes. Then, add the garlic, thyme and balsamic vinegar to the pan and continue cooking until the mushrooms are soft. Place a lid on the skillet to keep the mixture warm.
- Next, heat the broiler on HIGH, then place the bread slices on a large baking sheet (or use two). Brush the bread with the olive oil on both sides, then place in the oven for 3 minutes. Remove from the oven and carefully flip the bread over, then top each piece with a slice of cheese. Place back into the oven for about 2 minutes or until the cheese has melted.
- To assemble: place the toasted cheesy bread slices onto a serving platter, then spoon some of the mushroom mixture overtop of each piece. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, fresh thyme and optionally, drizzle with a little balsamic glaze. Enjoy!
