Mushroom Bell Pepper Canapés
Description
This recipe combines diced mushrooms sautéed until softened and seasoned with salt, with similarly sautéed bell pepper half rings and onion half rings. Once cooked, the veggies are combined to create a flavorful topping. Softened cream cheese is mixed with pressed garlic and spread on baguette slices toasted to about 1/3 inch thickness.
The vegetable mixture is spooned over the cream cheese on the bread, then garnished with grated parmesan. The resulting canapés offer a contrast between the creamy garlic cheese, tender cooked vegetables, and crunchy baguette. They can be served either cold or warm, providing versatility in presentation.
The layering of sautéed vegetables with cream cheese and parmesan creates a rich, complex flavor for a bite-sized appetizer. The use of fresh garlic and parmesan cheese rounds out the savory notes and adds depth.
Ingredients
- 1 lb mushrooms
- 2 bell pepper red, yellow or green, large
- 1 onion medium
- 1 tsp salt to taste
- 4 oz cream cheese softened at room temperature
- 3 garlic cloves

- parmesan for garnish
Instructions
- Dice the mushrooms into small pieces. Sauté the mushrooms on a hot skillet until they soften. As they cook, season them with salt. Remove them from the skillet and set aside.
- Slice bell peppers into half rings and sauté them on the hot skillet until they are softened. Remove them from the skillet and set aside.
- Cut the onion into half rings and sauté them the same skillet until softened. Add cooked mushrooms and bell peppers into the cooking mixture and season them with salt.
- Slice the baguette into your desired thickness (about 1/3 of an inch is good).
