40 min
Ingredients:
- 4 onces Grana Padano, divided
- 4 slices bread from a large, round “country” loaf
- 3 cloves garlic, divided
- 1 pound portabella mushroom caps
- 1 small red bell pepper
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 teaspoons flour
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2/3 cup half-and-half or light cream
Preparation:
Preheat oven to 400°F. With a cheese shaver or a vegetable peeler, shave the Grana Padano into shards to make about 1-1/2 cups. On a baking sheet, toast the bread until crisp but not browned, about 10 minutes. Cut one garlic clove in half and rub the toast with cut sides of the garlic. Scatter 1/2 cup of the Grana Padano shards evenly over the toast; set aside. With a sharp knife, cut portabella mushrooms in thin slices.
