Who can resist bruschetta rubbed with garlic and drizzled with extra virgin olive oil? Impossible!
This fresh, all year round version of Italian bruschetta is a great variation of the classics. Funghi trifolati, sweet cherry tomatoes marry perfectly with freshly toasted baguette or rustic bread of your choice.
The topping and the bread can be prepared beforehand and assembled right before serving.
Makes a perfect appetizer or side at summer barbecues outdoors.
Yields: 12-14 pieces
Ingredients:
1 lb funghi trifolati (sauteed mushrooms Italian style)
4 oz fresh cherry tomatoes
1 garlic clove
Extra virgin olive oil
Fresh parsley
Preparation:
Step 1: Using a bread knife cut the baguette on the diagonal into half inch slices.
Quarter and salt cherry tomatoes. Let them rest for a few minutes and release extra juice.
Drizzle each slice on both sides with olive oil. You can also use a brush for this purpose.
Step 2: Toast in the preheated oven or in the pan over medium heat. Reduce heat if needed. Bread slices should become light brown in the middle and golden brown around the edges.
Take one garlic clove and rub it lightly over edges of each bruschetta toast.
Mix pre-made sauteed mushrooms with cherry tomatoes and top on the garlicky bread toast.
Add a pinch of freshly chopped parsley for a fragrant fresh touch.

This recipe is a absolute dream! We assembled the various stages with care and patience-which is needed. But what a magnificent ending. Is there a good recipe for a multigrain loaf??
Thanks
