Directions

1

{"0":"preheat oven to 375","2":"In large saute pan melt butter and olive oil over medium high heat until butter starts to sizzle. Add anchovy and stir until dissolved, 1 minute. Add onions, cooking until slightly translucent, 3-4 minutes. Add garlic, stirring in with onions, 2 minutes. Add mushrooms, tossing to coat with other ingredients and cook until juice from mushrooms is released and begins to evaporate, 4-5 minutes Add peppers, incorporate into mushroom mixture and squeeze in the juice of 1\/2 a lemon. The pan should hiss. Keep stirring and add the sherry. Allow mixture to simmer off sherry vapors, about 4 minutes. While simmering, add thyme, salt and pepper, being careful to taste with salt as anchovy and olives can overpower. Add spinach just long enough to begin to wilt, 1 minute or less. Take mixture off heat. This can be made up to one day ahead.","4":"Spread mushroom mixture over both halves of bread, including juices. Sprinkle Gorgonzola over both, 2 oz. each. Add olives, then Asiago, grated fine the same way, 2 oz each.","5":"Place bruschetta on cookie sheets in oven and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until Asiago begins to brown. Remove from oven, cool slightly(1 minute) then cut into hand held slices.","6":"Serve with cold English ale","7":"or soda for the kids."}
