    Have you ever been in a rut when determining what appetizer to make for a party? Or perhaps you are seeking something to pair you wine or to add to your charcuterie board.

    Whatever it is, this butternut squash mushroom recipe is exactly what you need!

    I cannot tell you how many times I have scratched my head to determine an easy appetizer I could make for Gabe and myself when we are drinking prosecco on Saturday afternoon.

    This butternut squash mushroom crostini could not be any easier to make quickly when you want a savory treat.

    This recipe has delicious ingredients and is not laborious to make! Let me show you how easy it is to make!

    Ingredients for Butternut Squash Mushroom Bruschetta

    This plant-based bruschetta is made with simple ingredients! It includes: Baguette; Butternut Squash; Mushrooms; Garlic; Vegan Cream Cheese; Thyme; and Oil for cooking. I have also provided substitutions for you.

    Ingredients
    Butternut Squash Mushroom Bruschetta ingredients

    Baguette- You may use any loaf of bread you like! I choose a small baguette from trader joes (it is actually take and bake) because I wanted a smaller top (meaning more pieces!).

    Mushrooms- Mushrooms are important star to this recipe, but if you are against mushrooms, you may use apasrgus.

    Butternut Squash- Again, another star. If you need to sub this, you may use acorn squash or sweet potatoes.

    Garlic- You certainty can leave this out! It is to add flavor to the mushrooms while they are cooking.

    Vegan Cream Cheese- You may also use a vegan ricotta or vegan brie. You may use regular cream cheese, as well as another smooth based cheese.

    Thyme- You may use oregano or omit this.

    Oil- You may use any oil you usually use in a skillet. I used olive oil.

    Balsamic reduction is also optional to drizzle on top!

    How To Make This Butternut Squash Mushroom Recipe

    As always, this recipe is super easy to make!

    First, place your cut butternut squash in the oven and cook for 25-30 minutes.

    While it is cooking, chop your mushroom into slices and sauté them in the pan with oil and garlic. The mushrooms will cook for approx 10 minutes, then you will place thyme inside the pan and cook for another 1 minute.

    Cut your bread into thick slices then toast it either in the oven or in the toaster (I did mine in the toaster). If you enjoy a crispier bread, toast is for longer.

    Once the bread is done toasting and the vegetables are complete, smear cream cheese on top, then top it with mushrooms and bruschetta. Option to top with additional thyme or salt and pepper and drizzle with balsamic!

    Frequently Asked Questions Concerning Butternut Squash Mushroom Bruschetta

    Storage- This bruschetta is best served immediately. If you need to make it ahead of time, prepare the mushrooms and butternut squash beforehand. Both cooked will stay well in the fridge 24 hours. Simple warm them up in the microwave or skillet prior to placing them on the bread.

    Bread- As aforementioned, you may use any bread you like. The skinner the bread, the better (in my opinion). You may also make this like toast.
