How to Make Crostini With Mushrooms Prosciutto And Bleu Cheese

  1. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Add 1 pound of sliced cremini mushrooms and 2 cloves of minced garlic. Sauté until mushrooms are tender and browned, about 10-12 minutes.
  3. Pour in 1/2 cup heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Cook until the liquid is almost completely absorbed, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Remove from heat and stir in 4 ounces of crumbled bleu cheese until melted and smooth.
  5. Add 3 ounces of thinly sliced prosciutto, chopped, and stir to combine.
  6. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  7. Transfer the mushroom mixture to a bowl and set aside. (Can be made ahead).
  8. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  9. Arrange 12 slices of baguette on a baking sheet.
  10. Bake until lightly golden, about 5-7 minutes.
  11. Spoon 1-2 tablespoons of the mushroom topping onto each crostini.
  12. Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for another 6-8 minutes, or until heated through and bubbly.
  13. Garnish with 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh parsley before serving.
