Cremini Mushroom Toasts
- 1216 Cremini mushrooms, bottom of stems trimmed
- 4 slices white or whole-wheat sourdough bread or brioche
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- Kosher salt, to taste
- Place the mushrooms on your work surface cap side down.
- Trim two sides off the caps in line with the stems (so that when you slice the mushrooms there will be no stemless slices).
- Using a mandoline or a very sharp knife, cut the mushrooms into paper-thin slices, making sure to keep the stem section attached.
- Brush one side of each slice of bread lightly with oil.
- Place the mushrooms in a row on the unoiled side of the bread, slightly overlapping, making 3 or 4 rows to cover the surface.
- (There should be about 18 slices total for each piece of bread with no gaps of bread showing through.)
- Dab the mushrooms with olive oil and sprinkle with salt.
- Place the bread, mushroom side up, in a panini-style grill, and close the grill top over the bread, pressing the top of the grill down to slightly smash the bread.
- Grill for about 3 minutes on medium high, until the bread is golden brown and the mushrooms are sizzling and cooked through.
