Cheesy Mushroom Appetizer Toasts (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Main Components

01 - 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, plus extra for topping
02 - 3 tablespoons of butter
03 - ¼ teaspoon of salt
04 - 1 baguette, cut into slices
05 - Olive oil (optional, for drizzling)
06 - 1 large beaten egg
07 - 2 cups of chopped mushrooms
08 - 1 cup finely diced onion
09 - ¼ cup grated or shredded parmesan cheese
10 - Dried oregano for flavor
11 - ½ teaspoon black pepper

# Instructions:

01 - Set your oven temperature to 175°C (350°F) and let it heat up.
02 - Slice the baguette into pieces about 2 cm (¾ inch) thick and keep them to one side.
03 - Heat the butter in a large pan on medium. Toss in the mushrooms and cook them for 2-3 minutes.
04 - Stir in the onions and keep cooking until both are soft and lightly browned, which takes 5-7 minutes.
05 - Mix in some oregano, salt, and black pepper to season the onion-mushroom blend.
06 - Turn the heat down low. Stir in the mozzarella and parmesan until they melt evenly.
07 - Add the egg into the mix and stir nonstop for about a minute, letting it thicken slightly.
08 - Turn off the stove and remove the pan once all ingredients are combined.
09 - Cover a rimmed baking tray with parchment paper.
10 - Lay the baguette slices on the baking tray. Spoon a good amount of the mushroom mixture onto each slice. Sprinkle a bit more cheese on top.
11 - For extra taste and a golden touch, carefully drizzle olive oil on top of the toasts, if you’d like.
12 - Pop the tray into the heated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes until the cheese bubbles and the bread edges are crisp and golden.
13 - Serve as soon as they’re warm and fresh for best flavor.

# Notes:

01 - Choose fresh mushrooms and slightly stale baguette for the best flavor and texture.
02 - Prepare these ahead, then just bake before you’re ready to serve.
