Roasted Mushroom & Gruyère Toasts
Cook Time 14-18 minutes | Servings 4
Ingredients
1 baguette
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
½ pound maitake mushrooms, broken apart into bite-sized florets
½ teaspoon fine sea salt
1 cup shredded Gruyere cheese (4oz)
Chopped fresh parsley
Black pepper
How to Make It
Cut eight ¼"-thick slices from the baguette on the diagonal. Arrange the slices on the baking pan and brush them lightly with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Set the oven to Toast to shade 4 for 2 slices. Place the baking pan in the upper third of the oven and push Start. This should take about 4 and a half minutes. Leave the toasts on the baking pan and set aside.
In a large bowl toss the mushrooms with the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil and salt to coat. Arrange in a single layer in the air fry basket and place the basket in the center of the oven. Air Fry at 400 degrees until browned and crisp at the edges, 8–10 minutes.
Top the baguette toasts with mushrooms, then sprinkle with cheese. Place the baking pan in the upper third of the oven and use Crisp Finish to melt and brown the cheese, 3–4 minutes.
Serve immediately, sprinkled with parsley and pepper, or Keep Warm until ready to serve.
