1/4 cup balsamic vinegar

2 tablespoon olive oil

1 loaf, fresh Italian bread, cut into 15 slices

Place mushrooms on a shallow baking dish lightly greased with the olive oil. Sprinkle with balsamic vinegar, then add a pinch or two of salt

until they brown slightly, remove from oven, then rub each slice

piece of bread. Sprinkle with desired amount of blue cheese and
