Homegrown Chef Carrie Minns // MAKES 12 PIECES // 30 minutes<br />

CRANBERRY CROSTINI<br />

WITH SAUTÉED MUSHROOMS AND SHALLOTS<br />

2 tablespoons olive oil<br />

1 tablespoon butter<br />

½ cup peeled and minced shallots<br />

5 cups sliced mushrooms (cremini,<br />

shiitake, button or your favorites)<br />

½ teaspoon salt<br />

Freshly ground black pepper<br />

to taste<br />

¼ cup dried cranberries<br />

(preferably unsweetened)<br />

1 tablespoon minced parsley<br />

Softened goat cheese, or brie<br />

1 baguette, sliced in thin rounds<br />

Olive oil<br />

Optional<br />

parsley leaves for garnish<br />

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a medium saucepan,<br />

melt and heat butter and olive oil. Add shallots<br />

and caramelize over low heat for 8 to 10 minutes.<br />

Take care not to burn. While shallots are cooking,<br />

brush bread slices with olive oil. Place on a cookie<br />

sheet and pop in preheated oven to toast for about<br />

10 minutes. Turn up the stovetop heat to medium.<br />

Add mushrooms, salt and pepper to the shallots.<br />

Sauté mushrooms until tender and lightly browned,<br />

about 5 minutes. Turn heat off. Stir in cranberries<br />

and parsley.<br />

Spread goat cheese or brie on each toasted bread<br />

slice. Top with a scoop of cranberry-mushroom<br />

mixture. Finish with a sprig of parsley for garnish.<br />
