How to Make Mushroom and Gruyère Crostini
- Preheat the oven to 400℉.

- Bake the bread slices in the oven for 4-5 minutes until the cheese is melted.
- Melt 3 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add sliced mushrooms and cook 5-7 minutes until they are tender.
- Add red wine, soy sauce, and thyme. Stir to coat mushrooms and cook an additional 1-2 minutes.

Variations
- Try different mushrooms in this recipe like shiitake, white button, oyster, or any bunch of wild mushrooms you like.
- A spreadable cream cheese, mascarpone, or ricotta can replace the gruyère. Jarlsberg is another tasty option.
- Add different fresh herbs, like oregano, tarragon, or rosemary, instead of thyme.
Make-Ahead
To make the recipe ahead of time, get all of the prep work out of the way.
Slice the bread and mushrooms the day before. Place the bread in an airtight container. Clean and slice the mushrooms, then sauté with the butter, soy sauce, red cooking wine, and thyme. Place them in the fridge.
When you’re ready, let the mushrooms come to room temperature or heat them slightly on the stove or in the microwave.
Butter and garlic salt the bread slices, add the cheese, and bake in the oven. Then top with mushrooms and serve.
