Ingredients for Crostini with Mushrooms and Caramelized Onions:
Method of preparing the Crostini with Mushrooms and Caramelized Onions:
-
Preheat the oven to 350ºF (180ºC), line a baking sheet, brush the bread slices with olive oil and toast them in the oven for 10 minutes. Flip halfway and when done, let cool.
-
Meanwhile, stir together 1 tablespoon of olive oil, butter, brown sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt in a frying pan on a medium-high flame. Add the onions immediately and toss them to coat.
-
Cook the onions until they are lightly brown and fragrant - around 5 minutes. Then reduce the heat to a medium and sauté the onions until they are caramelized, stirring frequently. This should take around 10 minutes.
-
Add the mushrooms to the onions and cook for 5 minutes or so until they are tender. Then add the minced garlic and briefly saute, just until fragrant.
-
Mix in the soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and black pepper to taste and cook for 1 minute. Remove from the heat and set aside.
-
In a bowl, mix together the goat cheese, garlic and onion powder, and chopped chives. Spread that evenly on the toast.
-
Top the goat cheese spread with 3-4 tablespoons worth of the mushroom mixture. Garnish with chopped parsley and arrange the crostini on a large plate. Serve immediately.
