Directions

  1. Preheat broiler.
  2. Melt the butter in a large skillet. Add the onion, and cook until softened, but not brown. Add the mushrooms, season with salt and pepper to taste. Cover and cook over medium heat until the juices start to run. Uncover, and cook until the liquid evaporates.
  3. Add the wine, reduce by half. Add the cream, stir, and let simmer a few minutes, until thickened.
  4. Toast the bread, and place on a baking sheet. Top with the mushroom mixture and grated cheese.
  5. Place the toasts under the broiler, just until the top starts to brown. Serve immediately.
