Italian-Style Mixed Bruschetta with Mushrooms, Cheese, and Tomatoes
Ingredients
- 8 slices bread
- 200 g mushrooms (champignons), sliced
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- Olive oil, as needed
- 4 tbsp tomato purée (plum tomato)
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- Fresh basil, to taste
- Dried oregano, to taste
- Beef or chicken sausage, sliced
- 100 g stracchino cheese, sliced
- Scamorza cheese, sliced
- Olives, sliced
- 200 g cherry tomatoes, chopped
- Parmesan cheese, grated
Instructions
-
In a skillet, sauté the sliced mushrooms in olive oil. Add salt and pepper to taste. Cook until all the liquid evaporates and the mushrooms are tender.
-
While the mushrooms cook, lightly toast 6 slices of bread without allowing them to brown.
-
In a bowl, mix the tomato purée with minced garlic, a drizzle of olive oil, fresh basil, salt, pepper, and dried oregano. Spread this mixture on some of the toasted bread slices.
-
On the other toasted bread slices, top with the sautéed mushrooms, sliced sausage, stracchino cheese, scamorza cheese, olives, and grated Parmesan as desired.
-
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Place the topped bruschetta on a baking tray and bake for 20-25 minutes until the cheese melts and the tops are golden.
-
Toast the remaining 2 bread slices until crispy. Rub with cut garlic and drizzle lightly with olive oil.
-
In a bowl, combine the chopped cherry tomatoes with olive oil, salt, pepper, oregano, and basil. Spoon this mixture onto the garlic-rubbed toast.
-
Serve all the bruschetta warm for the best flavor experience.
