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.
