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.
