This recipe for Mushroom & Goat Cheese Crostini is simple and delicious. It makes the perfect appetizer to enjoy during holidays, such as Easter, or any other hosted event. It’s quick to make and always a hit. Feel free to use whatever mushroom you prefer — white button or Shiitake is our favorite. Any red wine will do, but I prefer cooking with Merlot or Pinot Noir to enhance the flavor.
