Description
Crispy baguette slices topped with a savory mixture of sautéed mushrooms, beef bacon, and melted cheese.
Ingredients
- 2 soft French baguettes, sliced into 1/2-inch rounds
- 2.25 cups Mexican cheese blend, finely shredded
- 8 oz beef bacon, chopped into thin strips
- 24 oz white mushrooms, diced small
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 3 garlic cloves, pressed
- 2 Tbsp unsalted butter
- 2 Tbsp mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350˚F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter and sauté the onions until soft and golden, about 6 minutes. Add the garlic, cook for 1 minute, and transfer to a mixing bowl.
- In the same skillet over medium-high heat, melt the remaining butter and cook the diced mushrooms until all liquid has evaporated and they are browned, roughly 11 minutes. Add them to the bowl with the onions.
- Fry the beef bacon strips in the skillet until browned and crispy. Drain the excess fat on paper towels before adding the beef bacon to the mixing bowl.
- Add the shredded cheese, mayonnaise, parsley, salt, and pepper to the bowl. Stir well to combine all ingredients into a thick, cohesive spread.
- Spoon the mixture generously onto the baguette slices. Bake at 350˚F for 15 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Serve warm.
Notes
You can substitute turkey bacon for the beef bacon if preferred. Ensure the mushrooms are cooked dry to prevent soggy bread.
