Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large caps Portabella mushrooms
- 1.5 cups Cherry tomatoes
- 0.25 cups Fresh basil leaves
- 2 large Garlic cloves
- 4 tablespoons Extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 teaspoons Balsamic vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 loaf French baguette
- 0.5 cups Parmesan cheese
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Clean the portabella mushroom caps with a damp paper towel to remove any dirt, then finely dice them.
Dice the cherry tomatoes into small pieces and place them in a medium mixing bowl.
Chop the fresh basil leaves and mince the garlic cloves. Add both to the mixing bowl with the tomatoes.
Add the diced portabella mushrooms to the bowl with the tomatoes. Drizzle in 2 tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil and the balsamic vinegar. Season with salt and black pepper, and toss to combine. Set aside for the flavors to meld.
Slice the French baguette diagonally into 1/2-inch thick slices. Arrange the slices in a single layer on a baking sheet.
Brush each baguette slice with the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Place the baking sheet in the oven and toast for 5-7 minutes, or until the bread is golden and crisp.
Remove the baguette slices from the oven, and let them cool slightly.
Spoon the tomato and mushroom mixture onto each baguette slice. Sprinkle the tops with grated Parmesan cheese.
Optionally, place the assembled bruschetta back in the oven for 2-3 minutes until the cheese begins to melt.
Serve immediately, garnished with more fresh basil if desired.
