Ingredients




2 - 2 1/2 cups wild mushrooms of your choice (finely diced - I used oyster)
1 shallot (finely diced)
1/4 cup dried cranberry (juice sweetened if possible)
1 tsp fresh thyme (finely minced)
1 rustic baguette
1 tbsp olive oil
1 wedge of beautiful brie cheese
Pinch of salt and pepper

Preparation

1 Start by pre-heating your oven to 350 degrees.  While the oven is pre-heating, heat the olive oil in a sauté pan and add the shallot, diced mushroom, cranberry and thyme.  Sauté for a few minutes until the shallot begins to wilt and then season with salt and pepper and set aside to cool. 2 Slice 12 pieces of brie and place each piece on the bread.  Follow with a spoonful of the cranberry, mushroom and shallot mixture and place on an oiled cookie sheet. Bake the toasts for 15 minutes or just until the brie melts.
