Preparation

Le Gruyère AOP porcini crostini

Clean the porcini well and dice; also dice the Le Gruyère AOP Réserve.
Wash the parsley and chop it finely, halve the garlic cloves.
Dice the shallots and cut the baguette into slices.
Fry the baguette slices in half of the olive oil until golden brown, rub with the garlic clove halves, and keep warm.
Then rapidly brown the porcini mushrooms in the rest of the olive oil.
Once they have coloured, add the shallots and sage and then add the butter.
After two minutes, add the white wine and fully reduce the mixture.
Add salt and pepper to taste.
Place the mushrooms in a bowl and just prior to spreading on the baguette slices, add the cubes of Le Gruyère AOP and the parsley.
Serve and enjoy while warm.

Delicious to know

You can also roast the baguette slices in the oven rather than in a frying pan. When you keep the baguette slices warm, ensure that they are kept on a warm plate or wrapped in a cloth. The baguette would dry out in a ventilated oven.
