Ingredients
Crostini:
-
1 baguette
-
1 tablespoon olive oil, or as needed
Herbed Goat Cheese:
-
4 ounces honey goat cheese, softened
-
1/2 tablespoon sherry
-
1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
-
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
-
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
-
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Mushrooms:
-
1/2 tablespoon olive oil
-
1/2 tablespoon unsalted butter
-
8 ounces baby bella or crimini mushrooms, sliced
-
1/2 small red onion, sliced
-
1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
-
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
-
1 sprig fresh thyme, or as needed (optional)
Directions
-
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
Using a serrated knife, slice baguette into 1/2-inch-thick slices on an angle. Place slices on the prepared baking sheet; brush both sides lightly with olive oil. Bake until crisp and golden brown, 5 to 8 minutes; no need to flip.
-
Mash goat cheese in a small bowl with a fork. Stir in sherry, parsley, basil, and garlic until well incorporated; season with salt and black pepper.
-
Heat olive oil and butter In a skillet over medium heat. Add mushrooms and red onion, and cook, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms are golden and onions are soft and translucent, 6 to 8 minutes. Stir in soy sauce and thyme and cook until fragrant, 30 to 60 seconds. Season with salt and pepper.
-
Spread goat cheese mixture on crostini, top with a spoonful of mushrooms and a sprinkle of thyme leaves, and serve at room temperature.
Cook’s Note
If honey goat cheese is not available, it’s OK to use plain. You can add a few drops of honey to lend just a little sweetness, a nice contrast to the herbs. The crostini and herbed goat cheese can be prepared in advance, then all you’ll need to do is prepare the mushrooms.
