Caramelized Onion and Mushroom Crostini with Feta and Roasted Garlic Cheese Spread

We were at our friend’s house on the Trask River (near Tillamook, Oregon) and I wanted to make a tasty appetizer while my friend Currie made a delicious dinner of stuffed pork chops and roasted asparagus. I did half of the crostini using feta cheese and half with goat cheese. These caramelized onion and mushroom crostini with feta and roasted garlic cheese spread were devoured quickly and they were a huge hit with everyone.

How to Make Caramelized Onion and Mushroom Crostini with Feta and Roasted Garlic Cheese Spread

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Combine feta cheese, sour cream, 1/2 head of roasted garlic, salt, and pepper to taste and mix thoroughly.

Place the baguette slices on a baking sheet and spray the tops with olive oil cooking spray. Cook for 5-7 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from oven and set aside.

Heat 1/2 tbsp olive oil and 1/2 tbsp butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and saute for 20-25 minutes, stirring often, until lightly caramelized. Remove from pan and set aside.

Re-heat the large skillet over medium-high heat adding the remaining 1/2 tbsp olive oil and 1/2 tbsp butter. Add mushrooms and saute, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, about 5 minutes.

Add the onions back into the pan with the mushrooms and heat through; season with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste.

Spread the feta mixture evenly onto the crostini then top with a spoonful of mushrooms and onions. Eat & enjoy!
