These little blue cheese mushroom crostini need to be added to your appetizer line up next time you host a party. They are a total crowd pleaser, and so easy to make.

Savory crunchy two bite appetizers.
Ingredients for Blue Cheese Mushroom Crostini:
- a baguette | OR try using pre-made Crostini toast from your local grocery store
- blue cheese salad dressing
- white or baby bell mushrooms
- swiss cheese
- butter
- flat leaf Italian parsley
How to make Blue Cheese Mushroom Crostini:
- Slice baguette: To start slice up the baguette. Preheat your oven to 350.
- Add butter or oil: Brush each slice with butter or olive oil.
- Bake: Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden. Flip the “tiny toasts” over mid baking to ensure they are golden on both sides.
- Saute mushrooms: Saute the mushrooms in about 1 – 2 tablespoons butter.
- Chop mushrooms: Once cooked and cooled, chop up (even smaller) some of the sauteed mushroom pieces leaving out a bunch of the pretty sliced pieces for the tops of the crostini.
- Assemble: To assemble the toasts. Start with a spread of the blue cheese dressing. Top with the chopped up sauteed mushrooms followed by a small slice of swiss cheese.
- Broil: Turn on your oven’s broiler to low heat and place your pan of tiny toasts under the broiler for a short time just to melt the swiss cheese. Watch them the whole time (do not walk away during this step).
- *Optional Garnish: top with chopped Italian Parsley
How to store Blue Cheese Mushroom Crostini:
This appetizer is better if you make it to serve so that it is fresh and crispy out of the oven. However, if you end up with leftovers, you can store them covered in the fridge for around two days. To reheat just pop them back in the oven until warm.
Easy Make ahead appetizer:
This recipe combines three of our favorites into one little flavor packed bite. Blue cheese, sautéed mushrooms and crostini. If you are always on the hunt for great appetizer recipes, this is a good one to add to your list. You can have a bunch of the things cooked and ready to go. You totally can sauté the mushrooms ahead. Also these little toast are great served at room temperature.
Best Dips and Sauces to top Crostini:
For the sauce on these tasty little toasts, we are using a salad dressing, we made our favorite homemade blue cheese salad dressing. Some call this dressing Roquefort, but it’s basically blue cheese. This dressing makes these tiny toasts so good! You really can get creative and use your favorite dips or sauces. Here’s some other ideas:
- Ranch Dressing
- Marinara Sauce
- Buffalo Hot Sauce
- Regular mayo
- Garlic butter
