Open-Face Wild Mushroom and Fontina Sandwiches

Open-Face Wild Mushroom and Fontina Sandwiches
Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • 1 pound mixed fresh shiitake, chanterelle, and porcini mushrooms
  • 5 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon minced fresh rosemary
  • 2 medium shallots, minced
  • 1 teaspoon minced fresh thyme
  • 1/4 cup Marsala
  • 4 1/2- to 3/4-inch-thick center-cut slices country-style French bread
  • 6 ounces imported Italian Fontina cheese, coarsely grated
  • 2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley

Instructions

  1. Stem shiitake mushrooms. Cut all mushrooms lengthwise into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Heat olive oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add rosemary and stir 10 seconds, then add mushrooms. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Sauté until mushrooms begin to brown, about 10 minutes. Add shallots and thyme; stir 2 minutes. Add Marsala and boil until evaporated, about 30 seconds. Remove from heat. Season with salt and pepper. (Can be prepared 1 hour ahead. Let stand at room temperature.)
  2. Preheat broiler. Place bread slices on baking sheet; broil until lightly toasted, about 2 minutes per side. Divide cheese among bread slices, covering completely. Broil until cheese melts, about 2 minutes. Rewarm mushrooms over medium heat if necessary. Mix in parsley. Place toasts on plates. Spoon mushrooms over and serve.
