Ingredients

• 2 large caps Portabella mushrooms
• 1.5 cups Cherry tomatoes
• 0.25 cups Fresh basil leaves
• 2 large Garlic cloves
• 4 tablespoons Extra-virgin olive oil
• 2 teaspoons Balsamic vinegar
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 1 loaf French baguette
• 0.5 cups Parmesan cheese

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Clean the portabella mushroom caps with a damp paper towel to remove any dirt, then finely dice them.

Step 3

Dice the cherry tomatoes into small pieces and place them in a medium mixing bowl.

Step 4

Chop the fresh basil leaves and mince the garlic cloves. Add both to the mixing bowl with the tomatoes.

Step 5

Add the diced portabella mushrooms to the bowl with the tomatoes. Drizzle in 2 tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil and the balsamic vinegar. Season with salt and black pepper, and toss to combine. Set aside for the flavors to meld.

Step 6

Slice the French baguette diagonally into 1/2-inch thick slices. Arrange the slices in a single layer on a baking sheet.

Step 7

Brush each baguette slice with the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Place the baking sheet in the oven and toast for 5-7 minutes, or until the bread is golden and crisp.

Step 8

Remove the baguette slices from the oven, and let them cool slightly.

Step 9

Spoon the tomato and mushroom mixture onto each baguette slice. Sprinkle the tops with grated Parmesan cheese.

Step 10

Optionally, place the assembled bruschetta back in the oven for 2-3 minutes until the cheese begins to melt.

Step 11

Serve immediately, garnished with more fresh basil if desired.
