    List of Ingredients




    3 Tbs butter
    1/2 lb fresh shiitake mushrooms, stemmed, caps chopped
    4 ounces (100g) crimini mushrooms, chopped
    2 garlic cloves, minced
    1/2 cup whipping cream
    1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese
    1/2 cup chopped thinly sliced prosciutto
    18 1/2-inch thick diagonal bread slices cut from 1
    sourdough baguette (I use melba toast rounds for pot
    luck parties but it is much better with the bread although
    a little more work)
    Chopped fresh parsley

    Recipe



    Melt butter in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add all
    mushrooms and garlic and saute until mushrooms are cooked through and
    brown, about 10 minutes. Add cream and boil until liquid is
    completely absorbed, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat. Add blue
    cheese and stir until cheese melts. Mix in prosciutto. Season to
    taste with salt and pepper. Transfer mushroom topping to bowl.
    (Mushroom topping can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate).

    Preheat oven to 375F. Arrange bread slices on baking sheet. Bake
    until just golden, about 5 minutes. Mound 1 generous Tablespoon
    mushroom topping on each slice. Return to oven; bake until topping is
    heated through, about 6 minutes. Sprinkle with chopped parsley.
    Serves 18. From Bon Appetit, December 2002.
