A hearty take on bruschetta, topped with juicy baked mushrooms and paired with a crisp, fresh salad.
Equipment
- 1 Air Fryer (optional)
Ingredients
For the Bruschetta:
- 4 slices rustic bread (country loaf, sourdough, etc.)
- 4 large mushrooms (Portobello or large champignons)
- mozzarella cheese cut into chunks or slices
- cherry tomatoes sliced
- fresh parsley finely chopped
- olive oil extra virgin
- 1 garlic clove halved
- coarse sea salt
- fresh or dried rosemary
For the Fresh Salad:
- Fresh white champignon mushrooms thinly sliced
- Lettuce torn
- Red cabbage finely sliced
- Cherry tomatoes halved
- Greek salad dressing (get the recipe Greek Salad Dressing)
Instructions
Prepare the Mushrooms:
- Wash the mushrooms gently and pat dry.
- Remove the central stem to create space for the filling.
- Season the inside lightly with salt.
- Fill each mushroom cap with mozzarella chunks, chopped parsley, a few slices of cherry tomato, and a drizzle of olive oil.
Oven method:
- Preheat oven to 200°C / 390°F (fan-assisted if possible).
- Place mushrooms on a baking tray lined with parchment.
- Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbling, and the mushrooms are tender.
Air fryer method:
- Set the air fryer to 180°C / 350°F.
- Place the stuffed mushrooms in the basket.
- Air fry for 8–10 minutes, or until cheese is melted and the mushrooms are cooked through.
Grill the Bread:
- Preheat your grill pan (or outdoor grill to medium-high heat)).
- Add olive oil, garlic, coarse salt, and rosemary on the pan and let it heat.
- Brush the bread slices on both sides with olive oil and rub each slice with the halved garlic clove.
- Place the bread (seasoned side facing the heat) on the hot grill.
- Toast for about 1–2 minutes per side, or until golden and slightly charred.
Make the Salad:
- Toss together the sliced champignons, lettuce, red cabbage, and cherry tomatoes.
- Dress with your prepared Greek salad dressing right before serving.
Assemble the Bruschetta:
- Place one baked mushroom cap on each slice of grilled bread.
- Drizzle with a little extra olive oil if you like.
- Serve alongside the fresh salad and enjoy immediately.
Notes
- If cooking in an Air Fryer, the total cooking time is about 30 minutes.
