DIRECTIONS:

Before we get started with making the bruschetta with mushrooms, preheat the oven to 375 so we can toast the bread.

Heat up a skillet on medium heat and once hot, add in one portion of the butter.

Once completed melted, add in mushrooms and turn up to high heat. You will notice after a few minutes a lot of water will start to release out of the mushroom. Continue to cook on high heat, making sure all mushrooms are coated in butter and allow the water to evaporate.

Once evaporated turn heat down to medium, salt, and pepper as desired, and add in your herbs and spices. Mix until well incorporated.

Next, add in your second portion of butter and coat mushrooms thoroughly. Allow to cook for another 10 or so minutes, stirring every few minutes to avoid burning.

While that cooks, place slices of bread on a baking tray and coat each piece with some olive oil before placing it in the oven for 5 minutes or until toasted. When ready remove, allow to cool for a few minutes before coating with goat cheese.

When mushrooms are ready, add them on top of the goat cheese covered crostini’s and garnish with truffle oil before serving.

MUSHROOMS ON TOAST

Mushrooms are a great source of Vitamin D and Iron! They are also low in calories which is great if you are watching your weight! I really like mushrooms on toast its not only delicious but a great way to boost your immune system if you are feeling run down. Mushrooms also can boost your metabolism because they have Vitamin B which is vital for turning food (carbohydrates) into fuel (glucose), which the body needs/burns to produce energy. Not to mention they taste good! Enjoy!!!

Yields 2 Pieces of Mushrooms on Toast

INGREDIENTS:

4 Cups of Mushrooms (I used a mix of Shiitake (remember to take the stems off) and Oyster mushrooms)
1-2 TBSP of Olive Oil
1/4 Cup of Fresh Sage - chopped
1/4 Cup of Fresh Thyme - chopped
2 Cloves of Garlic - minced or pressed
Salt and Pepper - as desired
Bread (Gluten free or Vegan Crackers can be used too)
 

DIRECTIONS:

Olive oil the pan and let it heat up on medium heat. Throw in your mushrooms and let that saute. The water will come out of the mushrooms.

Once the water comes out it will start to evaporate. When the water is nearly gone, throw in your garlic, sage, thyme and salt and pepper. The mushrooms will start to absorb the flavors at this point.

Continue to cook for another 10-15 minutes on medium heat. As they start to get golden brown you can reduce the heat.

Put you bread in the toaster and do your thing.

Spread the mushrooms on the toast and drizzle some of the juices from the pan on top and enjoy!
