Ingredients

  • 1 loaf Italian bread, cut into 3/4-inch thick slices
  • ½ cup olive oil
  • ½ pound diced fresh mushrooms
  • 5 green onions, minced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon chopped fresh parsley
  • 3 large tomatoes, diced
  • 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

Directions

Step 1
Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Arrange bread slices on a baking sheet in a single layer.

Step 2
Broil bread in the preheated oven until toasted, 1 to 2 minutes; watch carefully to prevent burning. Remove from the oven and place the baking sheet onto a wire rack. Keep the broiler on.

Step 3
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add mushrooms, green onions, garlic, salt, black pepper, and parsley; cook and stir until mushrooms are soft and juicy, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat.

Step 4
While the mushrooms are cooking, mix tomatoes and balsamic vinegar together in a bowl.

Step 5
Top each toasted bread slice with mushroom mixture, then spread tomato mixture over top and sprinkle with mozzarella cheese.

Step 6
Return to the oven and broil until heated through and cheese has melted, about 5 minutes.

    This strays pretty far from a traditional bruschetta. Add the tomatoes to step 3 and you will essentially have a pizza sauce – bruschetta toppings are not cooked and the garlic is rubbed onto the toasted bread and not a “topping” per se. It really seems to be pizza except toasted bread is used for the crust. If you ask your taste buds, I think you will find them saying “pizza.”

    Scrumptious! The first batch I followed the recipe aside from doubling the balsamic vinegar. The second batch, I spread garlic butter on the baguette before roasting it, added a pinch of crushed red pepper to the tomatoes, and then mixed the mushrooms & tomatoes together. Both very delicious methods. It won?t taste like ?pizza? as someone said unless you cook the toppings WAY too long. 🙂
