These are really meant to be appetizers, but they are rich enough that you could have a few with a salad and call it lunch.
Baguette slices, about 7 or 8, 1/4" to 1/2" thick
2 medium button mushrooms, chopped
1/2 T butter
1 green onion, sliced
1/2 tsp garlic, minced
1 tsp white wine
3 T heavy cream
2 slices baby Swiss cheese, chopped (sandwich-size slices)
bacon bits
Preheat the broiler.
Melt the butter and saute the mushrooms over medium heat for a few minutes. Add the green onion (save a little of the tops for garnish) and the garlic and continue to cook. Add the wine and cook until it has evaporated. Set this mixture to the side.
Let the pan cool. Add the cream and place over a very low heat. Once the cream begins to warm, add the cheese, stirring until it has melted and the mixture begins to thicken. Return the mushroom mixture to the pan and add the bacon bits. Remove pan from heat and let the mixture slightly cool.
Lightly toast one side of the bread slices. Flip them over and spread the mushroom mixture evenly over the bread slices. Return them to the broiler and broil until lightly browned. Sprinkle with green onion tops.
