Morel Crostini
- 1 fresh baguette, sliced thin
- 1 splash extra-virgin olive oil
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 6 ounces fresh morels, cleaned and sliced lengthwise
- 2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 3/4 cup thinly sliced leeks, white and pale green parts only
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Italian flat-leaf parsley
- 1 package of goat cheese, to taste
- MAKE THE TOAST: Preheat oven to 350u0b0 F. Place sliced bread on a baking sheet. Brush each piece with olive oil. Bake until bread is lightly toasted, 10 to 15 minutes. Arrange toast on a serving tray.
- SAUTE THE MORELS: In a large skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat. Add morels and saute 2 to 3 minutes. Add thyme and season with salt and pepper. Saute until morels are tender, about 3 minutes.
- SEASON: Add leeks to mushrooms and saute until soft, 3 to 4 minutes more. Stir in the lemon juice and parsley. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- ASSEMBLE AND SERVE: Pour mixture into a serving bowl and then place the bowl on top of the serving tray with the toast. Place goat cheese on the tray. Let everyone assemble their own crostini: Smear a bit of goat cheese on toast, then top with a spoonful of morels.
