  • Cook Time: 5 minutes
  • Prep Time: 10 minutes
  • Total Time: 15 minutes
  • Servings: 10

Ingredients:

  • 8 ounces cream cheese
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 ounce Parmesan cheese, grated
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2 cups white mushrooms, finely chopped
  • 1 scallion, finely chopped
  • 1 baguette, thinly sliced

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Mushroom Mixture:

    • In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, butter (softened), and egg yolk (if included) until smooth and well blended.
  2. Add Flavor and Texture:

    • Mix in the grated Parmesan cheese, freshly ground black pepper, chopped mushrooms, and finely chopped scallion. Ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
  3. Preheat the Broiler:

    • Set your broiler to preheat.
  4. Prepare the Baguette Slices:

    • Arrange the thinly sliced baguette on a broiling pan or baking sheet.
  5. Assemble the Canapés:

    • Top each baguette slice with about a tablespoon of the prepared mushroom and cream cheese mixture, spreading it evenly to cover the surface.
  6. Broil Until Golden and Bubbly:

    • Place the pan under the broiler, about four inches from the heat source. Broil for 3-5 minutes or until the canapés are hot, golden on top, and the cheese mixture is bubbly.
  7. Serve Hot:

    • Remove from the broiler and serve immediately while hot and delicious.

Tips:

  • Make-Ahead: You can prepare the mushroom mixture up to 2 days in advance and store it in the refrigerator. Assemble and broil the canapés just before serving.
