Truffle Bruschetta

I love the unique and delicate flavor of truffles. This recipe highlights the truffle flavor in a creamy texture spread. The appetizer will fill your home with a lovely aroma and presents well on a platter. Mushroom lovers beware! This appetizer spread can be made ahead and stored in the fridge until you are ready to for your guests.

Original recipe makes 10 servings

Directions

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons truffle-infused oil in a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir mushrooms until most of the liquid has evaporated, about 5 minutes. Add red bell pepper, parsley, and garlic to mushrooms; cook and stir until mushrooms are golden and lightly browned, about 5 minutes more. Remove skillet from heat.
  2. Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven’s broiler.
  3. Stir remaining truffle-infused oil and cream cheese into mushroom mixture until cheese melts from the heat of the skillet; season with salt and pepper. Spread mushroom-cheese mixture onto each baguette round. Arrange rounds on a baking sheet.
  4. Broil bruschetta until bread is warmed, 2 to 3 minutes.
