Mushroom Pesto Crostino

Recipe

Cheesy Mushroom crostini with a spread of Genovese Pesto. The pesto adds a nice brightness to the umami-rich mushrooms and cheese. You can make these ahead of time and then pop them in the oven to melt the cheese down right before serving. I topped my crostini off with a sprinkle of parmesan cheese, lemon zest, and thinly sliced basil.
