List of Ingredients

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound ****take mushrooms cleaned, tough ends of stems removed, diced
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
1/4 cup Madeira sherry
24 thin slices wheat bread
1 1/2 pounds bacon (about 24 slices), cooked
1 bunch arugula cleaned and trimmed


Recipe

In a large skillet, over medium heat, heat 2 tablespoons butter and the oil. Add mushrooms, and season with salt and pepper; saute' until mushrooms begin to soften and juices evaporate, about 8 minutes. Add Madeira, and remove from heat; deglaze pan, stirring with a wooden spoon until liquid has evaporated. Let cool, and place in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a metal blade. Add remaining butter, pulse until mushrooms are finely chopped, about 1 minute.

Thinly spread two slices of bread with mushroom butter; cover one slice with a single layer each of bacon and arugula, and top with other bread slice. Use a serated knife to trim crusts and cut in half diagonally into two triangles. Cover with damp towels until ready to serve.
