Mushroom Kilpatrick on Barbecue Crostini

I'mPat's Note:

This is from our local paper and hope to make it when the weather warms up a tad. This was part of their "One for the Blokes" feature and the nutritionist gave it a big thumbs up. Times are estimated. Think this could be duplicated with an indoor grill and frypan/skillet for the hotplate.

• Total Time: 30 mins
• Prep Time: 10 mins
• Cook Time: 20 mins

Ingredients:

Serves: 8

Yield: 8.0 crostin ...

• 60 g butter (softened)
• 1 garlic clove (minced)
• 1/2 cup fresh parsley leaves (chopped)
• 8 slices sourdough bread
• 8 mushrooms (flats or fields trimmed)
• 3 slices rindless bacon (diced)
• 2 -3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• salt and pepper
• olive oil flavored cooking spray
• 1 -2 lemon (cut into wedges to serve)

Directions:

1. Preheat barbecue plate to high and the grill to medium.
2. Combine butter, garlic and 3/4 of the parsley in a bowl, season with salt and pepper and beat till well combined.
3. Lightly spray both sides of the bread and mushrooms with oil.
4. Barbecue the bread on the grill for 2-3 minutes each side until toasted.
5. Barbecue the mushrooms on the flat plate, stem side up first for 3 to 4 minutes each side until tender.
6. Add the bacon to the hotplate and cook, tossing for a minute until golden and then drain on paper towel.
7. Spread a little garlic butter on each piece of toasted bread, top with a mushroom and sprinkle with bacon and remaining parsley and then drizzle worcestershire sauce and season with salt and pepper and serve with a lemon wedge.

This is just fantastic!! I sauteed the mushrooms and bacon in the worcestershire, otherwise made as directed. The garlic/worcestershire/bacon was so good with the mushrooms - we really loved this - thanks for sharing the recipe!

We really enjoyed this. I sauteed the mushrooms in a skillet and had bacon already cooked from the morning, so this went together really fast. After spreading the garlic butter over the bread, I baked it for about 15 minutes to get a nice golden brown then piled the mushroom and bacon on. Sprinkled with the Worcestershire and a spritz of lemon. I agree that the lemon just sends this over the top. Thanks Pat for sharing. We'll make this one again.
