Another one from the Toronto Star's Chef's Showcase from the 80s. Made it as part of dinner tonight and it ended up to be our dinner. Oh well, I don't have to cook tomorrow! And I have leftover crostini for lunch. Recipe by Chef Michael Bonacini.

SERVES 5 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

2 cups mushrooms, assorted, roughly chopped
4 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
2 slices smoked bacon, diced
1/2 small onion, diced
2 garlic cloves, chopped
1 tablespoon Italian parsley, chopped
2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
8-10 slices French baguettes, cut 1/4 inch thick, lightly toasted

Directions

1
In heavy bottomed frying pan, heat olive oil and butter under medium-low heat; add bacon and fry until golden brown, about 4 to 5 minutes.
2
Add onion, garlic and continue to cook for 2 minutes. Add mushrooms and saute, stirring from time to time for 5 to 6 minutes; season with salt and pepper; when mushrooms are cooked, add parsley and cheese; remove from heat, cover and let rest for 4 to 5 minutes.

Excellent appy, can't wait to make again! At first I thought this might be a bit greasy with the oil, butter, and bacon grease but no! That's where the crostini comes in and soaks up all that goodness! We used Sea Salt Bagel Bites instead of crusted bread and it was fantastic! Thanks for sharing! Made for PAC Fall 2009.

5 STAR FOR SURE I did them a bit different - Instead of adding the parmesan to the mushrooms I sprinkled it on top on the mushroooms on the baguette slices - I didn;t use any butter or oil just 2 sprays of no oil- one on the bread before adding the mushrooms and a quick spray on top of the mushrooms on the baguettes before topping them with the cheese Baked in 375 oven for 14 minutes Perfect!

What a taste sensation! All these flavors blended so well it was like heaven to eat! The smoky bacon, earthy mushrooms, the sweetness of onions, the subtle lemony flavor imparted by the parsley. The crisp, buttery baguette and the salty parmesan. You can't get ANY better than this, folks. Thanks so much for sharing. I see myself making this numerous times in the future.
