Shitake Mushroom and Fontina Crostini (BONUS RECIPE)

Shitake Mushroom and Fontina Crostini (BONUS RECIPE)

Prep Time: 5 Minutes

Cook Time: 25

Yield: 12 servings

Ingredients

  • 6 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 lb. Shitake mushrooms
  • 1/2 cup shallots, finely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, peeled and minced
  • 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves
  • 1/4 cup St. Supéry Virtú, or other bright white wine
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 Tbsp parsley, finely chopped
  • 1 baguette
  • 1 cup Fontina cheese, coarsely grated

Remove the stems and cut the mushrooms into 1/4-inch dice. Heat 3 Tbsp of the olive oil over medium heat in a large sauté pan. Add the shallot and garlic and cook until soft but not browned. Add the mushrooms, thyme, wine and salt. Cook until the liquid has evaporated and the mushrooms are tender - about 15 minutes. Adjust the seasoning and stir in the parsley.

For the Crostini:
Cut twelve slices from the baguette diagonally – slices should be about 3/8” thick and about 3” long. Place slices on a baking sheet and brush the tops with olive oil. Bake in a 350° oven until golden brown.

To serve: Top each crostini with a spoonful of the mushroom mixture and sprinkle with the Fontina cheese. Place the crostini back in the oven and bake until the cheese is melted. Serve immediately.

We've really enjoyed our membership to date. Who doesn't like good wine delivered to their door? We're always happy when we get some of the highly rated wines in a batch, but even when there aren't any, we've had no complaints with what we've received.

I just want to say you all are awesome! My wife enjoys the choices you have made and sent her and quite honestly I have never really enjoyed wine until I have sampled the ones you have sent. We have recently purchased a 150 bottle wine cooler/cellar and as you can see I have gone a little wild on trying to fill it . I appreciate all you have done and all that you have sent and if possible would appreciate if you could give us some recommendations on what you would think would compliment our collection. Thank you.
