Toasted country bread crostini, spread with Goat Cheese Spread, topped with sautéed mushrooms and onion, finished with fresh arugula and black pepper. A delicious, aromatic appetizer with a full flavor.
Clean the mushrooms and slice them. Thinly slice the onion.
In a pan, heat the oil with the garlic clove (optional). Add the onion and let it soften for 2-3 minutes. Add the mushrooms, lightly salt, and cook over medium-high heat for 7-8 minutes until they are golden and the water has evaporated. At the end of cooking, add the parsley (if desired) and a grind of pepper.
Toast the slices of bread on a grill or in the oven until golden.
Spread a generous layer of Goat Cheese Spread (blended in a mixer) on each slice of warm bread. Top with the sautéed mushrooms and onion.
Garnish with fresh arugula leaves and finish with a sprinkle of black pepper.
To be enjoyed immediately. The mushrooms can be prepared in advance and the bruschetta assembled at the moment.
