Ingredients

Gather these ingredients to create your Truffle Mushroom Canapés:

  • 1 baguette, sliced into thin rounds
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 cups mushrooms, finely chopped (cremini or shiitake)
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp heavy cream
  • 1 tsp truffle oil, plus more for garnish
  • 1 tbsp fresh thyme, finely chopped
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Microgreens, for garnish
  • Shaved Parmesan, for garnish (optional)


Step 1: Prepare the Baguette Rounds

The toasted baguette forms the perfect base.

  • Method: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Brush the baguette slices with olive oil and arrange on a baking sheet. Bake for 8–10 minutes, or until golden and crisp. Set aside to cool.
  • Tip: Toast the bread just before serving to retain its crunch.


Step 2: Cook the Mushroom Mixture

The mushroom topping is the star of the dish.

  • Method: In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté until fragrant. Stir in the mushrooms, cooking until softened and slightly browned. Add heavy cream, thyme, salt, and pepper, and cook until the mixture is creamy. Remove from heat and stir in truffle oil.
  • Tip: For a finer texture, pulse the cooked mixture in a food processor briefly.


Step 3: Assemble the Canapés

Assembly brings together the flavors and presentation.

  • Method: Spoon the mushroom mixture onto the toasted baguette rounds. Garnish with a drizzle of truffle oil, a sprig of microgreens, and a few shavings of Parmesan.


Step 4: Serve with Sophistication

Elegant plating adds the final touch.

  • Serving Dish: Arrange the canapés on a black slate platter for contrast. Scatter fresh thyme sprigs around for decoration.
  • Background Setting: Pair with a glass of white wine or Champagne for a truly luxurious experience.
