List of Ingredients




18 ( 3/4-inch ) thick baguette slices
1/4 cup Carapelli premium Extra Virgin olive oil
4 cloves garlic, divided
3 cups thinly sliced mushrooms such as cremini, oyster, and shitake
2-3 Peloponnese roasted sweet red peppers, thinly sliced into 1 ½-" pieces
1/3 cup Peloponnese pitted kalmata olives, quartered
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
3/4 cup shredded Fontina or Monterey jack cheese

Preheat broiler.

Lightly brush both sides of bread with a small amount of olive oil.

Broil bread under broiler until golden brown on both sides, turning once.

Meanwhile, in large skillet, in 2 tablespoons of olive oil, sauté 2 cloves minced garlic and mushrooms over medium-high heat until lightly browned and slightly softened; about 3-5 minutes.

Add roasted peppers, olives and ground black pepper; remove from heat.

Brush top side of toasted baguette slices with remaining garlic cloves (cut in half). Top bread with mushroom mixture and sprinkle with shredded cheese.
