1 small (or 1/2 large) baguette
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for brushing
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
1 shallot, thinly sliced into rings

Yield Makes 12 appetizer servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes (not oil-packed)
1 cup boiling water
6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) butter
4 garlic cloves, chopped
1/2 teaspoon dried crushed red pepper
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1 pound fresh shiitake mushrooms, stemmed, sliced
12 ounces button mushrooms, sliced
1/2 cup white wine
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
8 artichoke hearts from 14-ounce can, cut into 1/2-inch wedges
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
1 crusty French-bread baguette, cut diagonally into 1/3-inch-thick slices
6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) butter, melted
1/2 cup (about) freshly grated Parmesan cheese
8 ounces herbed goat cheese

Steps:

Place sun-dried tomatoes in small bowl. Pour boiling water over tomatoes; let soak until soft, about 20 minutes. Drain tomatoes; slice thinly. Set aside. Melt 4 tablespoons butter in heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic, dried red pepper and thyme; sauté 1 minute. Increase heat to medium-high. Add shiitake and button mushrooms and sauté until brown, about 10 minutes. Add wine and lemon juice and simmer 2 minutes. Mix in sun-dried tomatoes and artichokes. (Can be prepared 2 hours ahead. Let stand at room temperature. Rewarm over medium heat before continuing.) Mix in basil and 2 tablespoons butter. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer to bowl; sprinkle with chopped parsley.
Preheat oven to 375°F. Arrange baguette slices in single layer on baking sheet. Bake until golden, about 8 minutes. Remove from oven; maintain oven temperature. Brush each baguette slice with butter and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Return to oven; bake until cheese begins to melt, about 5 minutes.
Serve warm crostini with goat cheese and mushroom mixture.
