Ingredients

  • 1-1/2 cups sliced fresh mushrooms
  • 1-1/2 cups sliced baby portobello mushrooms
  • 1 cup sliced fresh shiitake mushrooms
  • 3/4 cup chopped onion
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon coarsely ground pepper
  • 28 slices French bread baguette (1/2 inch thick)
  • 1 garlic clove, peeled and halved
  • 1 tablespoon each minced fresh basil, parsley and thyme
