Equipment
- Skillet
- Mixing bowl
- Knife
- Cutting board
- Oven or grill
Ingredients
- 8 slices of rustic Italian bread
- 2 cups fresh chanterelle mushrooms cleaned and sliced
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Balsamic glaze for drizzling optional
Instructions
- Preheat your oven or grill to medium-high heat.
- In a skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil. Once hot, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds, or until fragrant.
- Add the sliced chanterelle mushrooms to the skillet. Sauté them for 5-7 minutes until they turn golden brown and become tender. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- While the mushrooms are cooking, place the slices of rustic Italian bread on the grill or in the oven. Toast them until they're lightly crispy and have grill marks, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Once the mushrooms are cooked, remove them from the heat and stir in the chopped fresh parsley.
- Place the toasted bread slices on a serving platter or individual plates.
- Spoon the sautéed chanterelle mushrooms over the toasted bread slices, distributing them evenly.
- Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese on top of the mushrooms.
- Optionally, drizzle a bit of balsamic glaze over each bruschetta for an extra burst of flavor.
- Serve the Chanterelle Mushrooms Bruschetta immediately, while it's warm and the bread is still crispy.
Notes
Tips:
- If you can't find fresh chanterelle mushrooms, you can use dried ones. Just rehydrate them in hot water for 20 minutes before cooking.
- Customize your bruschetta by adding a touch of fresh lemon juice or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for some heat.
- Use a good-quality, crusty Italian bread for the best results.
