Notes

- You can also use other types of mushrooms, such as portobellos or cremini.
- If you don’t have Parmesan cheese, you can use any type of hard cheese, such as cheddar or mozzarella.
- To make the bruschetta ahead of time, prepare the bruschetta as directed and then store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. When you are ready to serve, remove the bruschetta from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before baking.
