    Two photos one above the other of a close p of mushroom and tomato bruschetta on little crostini toasts.
    Mushroom Bruschetta Crostini is a mix of mushrooms, onions and red bells. The mix is piled high on small toasts and plated on a white square plate.

    Mushroom Bruschetta Crostini are a fantastic appetizer that has only 6 ingredients. It comes together quickly for perfect Mediterranean classic flavors.

    Appetizers are the soul of a party spread. There's the lineup of wines and pretty glasses and maybe even some alcohol, mixes and a bucket of ice but the food is what pulls it all together.

    When people are coming over they want to laugh and have fun but you'd better believe they want snacks too. I'm all about having finger foods.

    The dips and veggies are there but I really like when you can pick up an appetizer, all by itself, and get a bite or two.

    That's where Mushroom Bruschetta Crostinis come into play.

    I have to tell you that I caught my mother's style of entertaining. One of the things she would say is 'It's better to have too much food than too little".

    So ... there was always plenty of food at our parties. Now, at mine too.

    Another one of my favorites to serve besides crostini are rollups. Sun-Dried Tomato Pesto Tortilla Rollups is a crowd pleaser and so simple.

    And how about something spicy like Slow Cooker Spiced Cashews? I can eat those by the handful.

    Sun-Dried Tomato Pesto Tortilla Rollups are sliced and stacked on a wooden cutting board and placed on the picnic table for everyone to enjoy.

    Oh, man! I can make a very long list here but I'll stop and get back to Mushroom Bruschetta Crostini and it's Mediterranean flavors.

    An added bonus to this recipe is that the Cremini Mushroom Bruschetta is also sublime on its own as a side dish.

    Also, added as a topping for pasta or lentils it adds an unexpected treat. Or add it to your fajitas with a little vegan cheese and it is all you need.

    Toss it with roasted new potatoes and it brings your potatoes to a new height.

    I actually misspelled Mushroom Bruschetta Crostinis in the URL so I need to stick with it because google tells me so. 🙂  It's Crostini without the 's'.

    Cremini Mushrooms, red bell pepper, and onion is a perfect combination. Double or triple the recipe because it freezes perfectly.

    Ingredients
      

    • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
    • ½ cup onion diced
    • 1 red bell pepper dices
    • 8 ounces cremini mushrooms , sliced and barely chopped, about 10
    • ½ teaspoon sea salt
    • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
    • 1 long loaf of Italian bread for slicing

    Instructions
     

    To make the bruschetta:

    • Heat the coconut oil in a large skillet and sauté the onion and red bell pepper for 10 minutes.
    • Add the cremini mushrooms and sauté 10 to 15 minutes more.
    • The mushrooms will shrink and add moisture to the mixture.
    • Season with the salt and pepper. Set aside.

    To make Crostini

    • Slice a long baguette loaf (or use pre-sliced)
    • Lightly brush oil on each slice and place on a cookie sheet.
    • Fill up the cookie sheet in a single layer.
    • Set oven to broil and toast on the top shelf under the broiler. Do not walk away - watch the toast closely.
    • Remove from the oven as soon as the toasts turn a golden brown.
    • Spoon bruschetta onto the toasted bread slices and serve.
    • I used pinches of fresh parsley to garnish the tops.

      We didn't know how much we loved crostini. This was so good. I made it as a side dish and it is gone!
