Ingredients
- 1 pound mushrooms of your choice (such as cremini, portobello, shiitake, beech, royal trumpet, oyster or maitake)
- 1 1/2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
- 2 teaspoons P.S. Flavor!™ Creole Kitchen seasoning or Creole seasoning of choice, divided
- 2 cups (about a 15-ounce container) ricotta cheese
- Zest of one lemon (about 1 tablespoon)
- 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1/4 cup finely minced herbs, such as flat-leaf parsley or thyme, divided
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta, divided
- 1 scallion, thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon sherry vinegar
- Multigrain baguette, sliced 1/4- to 1/2-inch thick on bias
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 400 F. Place sheet pan in oven to heat with oven.
- Gently clean the mushrooms with a damp cloth or a paring knife to remove any specks. Cut off any tough stems. Leave small, bite-size mushrooms whole; quarter or slice larger mushrooms to bite-size pieces.
- Toss mushrooms in a large bowl with 1 teaspoon olive oil and 1/2 teaspoon Creole seasoning then add to heated pan, scattering evenly (you’ll hear a sizzle when they hit the hot pan). Roast until all the juices evaporate from the pan and the mushrooms begin to brown slightly.
- Prepare the whipped ricotta by whisking together ricotta, 1/2 tablespoon olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, and 1 teaspoon Creole seasoning. Mix in 2 tablespoons herbs and 1/4 cup feta.
- While mushrooms are finishing roasting, heat a nonstick or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add another teaspoon olive oil, scallion and garlic then sauté for about 30 seconds. Add sherry vinegar and roasted mushrooms and sauté to coat mushrooms. Add 2 tablespoons fresh herbs and adjust seasoning to taste.
- Shortly before serving, position an oven rack about 6 inches from the broiler element and heat the broiler to high. Arrange the bread slices on a baking sheet and brush them with another teaspoon olive oil and sprinkle with remaining Creole seasoning. Broil until the bread is golden, 1-2 minutes. Flip and toast the other side, about 1 minute.
- Smear the ricotta mixture on the toasts and top with the warm mushroom mixture. Sprinkle the remaining crumbled feta on top and garnish with remaining fresh herbs.
