WILD MUSHROOM CROSTINI WITH GOAT CHEESE

Steps:

• Heat large skillet over medium high heat. Add olive oil and butter. When butter is melted, add chopped shallot, sliced mushrooms, salt, and pepper. Sauté, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms have browned and liquid has evaporated.
• Add minced garlic; sauté for 1 minute or until fragrant.
• Add white wine and fresh thyme, sauté 2 minutes more or until wine has mostly evaporated.
• Remove from heat; cool slightly. Taste, and add more salt and pepper, if desired.
• Spread goat cheese on crostini, pile on mushrooms, and sprinkle with parsley. Serve immediately.

SPINACH AND GOAT CHEESE CROSTINI

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Use 2 tablespoons of the oil to brush both sides of the bread slices. Arrange on a baking sheet and sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper. Bake until golden, flipping halfway through, about 7 minutes. While the toasts are hot, rub both sides with the whole garlic clove and return the bread to the baking sheet.
• Toast the pine nuts in a large skillet over medium heat, swirling, until lightly golden, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a medium bowl. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons olive, minced garlic and red pepper flakes to the skillet and cook, over medium heat and stirring frequently, until the garlic is soft, about 1 minute. Add the spinach, in batches, sprinkling with salt after each new addition, until wilted and tender. Transfer to the bowl with the pine nuts, add the lemon zest and toss well. Drain the mixture in a colander and then roughly chop it.
• Divide the spinach mixture among the toasts and top each with some crumbled goat cheese. Bake just until cheese starts to melt, 3 to 5 minutes. Sprinkle with more red pepper flakes if using and serve warm.
