Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 loaf Baguette
- 4 tablespoons Olive oil
- 8 ounces Baby bella mushrooms
- 2 pieces Garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 4 ounces Prosciutto
- 3 ounces Bleu cheese
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
Slice the baguette into 1/2-inch thick slices, yielding about 16-20 pieces. Arrange the slices on the prepared baking sheet.
Brush both sides of each baguette slice with 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Bake for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crisp.
While the baguette slices are baking, clean and slice the mushrooms into thin pieces. Mince the garlic cloves.
In a large skillet, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil and the butter over medium heat. Add the garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet along with the thyme, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are tender and golden brown. Remove from heat.
Assemble the crostini by layering a slice of prosciutto onto each toasted baguette slice.
Top the prosciutto with a spoonful of the sautéed mushrooms, followed by a small crumble of bleu cheese.
Transfer the assembled crostini back onto the baking sheet and bake for an additional 3-4 minutes, just until the bleu cheese begins to melt slightly.
Garnish the crostini with fresh parsley, if desired, and serve immediately. Enjoy!
