 ¼ cup (60 mL) olive oil, divided
 24 slices baguette,about 1/2-inch (1 cm) thick
 1 lb (500 g) mixed mushrooms, thinly sliced, such as oyster, shiitake or portobello
 2 cloves garlic, minced
 ½ tsp (2 mL) salt
 ¼ tsp (1 mL) freshly ground pepper
 1 tbsp (15 mL) fresh lemon juice
 1 cup (250 mL) mascarpone
 24 thin slices lachsschinken
 2 tbsp (30 mL) snipped chives
Steps :

Preheat the broiler to high. Brush both sides of bread with some of the olive oil. Arrange slices on baking sheet. Broil for 1 to 2 minutes per side or until golden and toasted. Set aside.

2

Heat the remaining oil in large skillet set over high heat. Sauté mushrooms with garlic, salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes or until golden brown. Stir in lemon juice; cook for additional 1 minute.

If you can’t find mascarpone, you can also use goat cheese or cream cheese for a similar creamy finish. Turn these two-bite appetizers into a lunchtime favourite by swapping baguette rounds for slices of toasted crusty sandwich bread
