CROSTINI WITH SHIITAKE MUSHROOMS AND BRIE

Steps:

• 1 Preheat the oven to 350F. 2 Mince the garlic. Slice the mushrooms as thinly as possible. 3 Heat a tablespoon or so of olive oil in a skillet, then sauté the garlic it begins to soften. Add the mushrooms and cook for three to four minutes, until the mushrooms are nice and tender. Season to taste with salt and pepper. 4 While the mushrooms are cooking, arrange the baguette slices on a baking sheet. Brush both sides of each slice with a little bit of olive oil, and pop the baking sheet into the oven. Toast the bread for about 8-10 minutes at 350F, flipping the slices halfway through to get both sides brown. 5 When the mushrooms are cooked and the bread toasted, assemble the crostini by topping each with a slice of brie and a dollop of mushroom mixture. Bake for a couple of minutes, until the cheese is melted. Sprinkle with chopped parsley, or garnish with a basil leaf.
