    Directions

  1. Cut bread into 1/4 to 1/2 inch slices; drizzle both sides with olive oil. Bake in oven at 350 degrees for 3 minutes.

  4. While bread is in oven, mix vinaigrette. Blend the balsamic, Dijon mustard, honey, salt and pepper together with a whisk. Slowly add in olive oil. Set aside.
  5. In a sauté pan heat a little olive oil and sauté the leek, shallot and garlic until softened but not browned.
  6. Add leek mixture to the spinach in a bowl. Add the portobello mushrooms to the sauté pan to warm.
  7. Toss the spinach mixture with the vinagrette. Add this mixture to the top of the bruschetta.
  8. Place spoonfuls on top of the bruschetta, add some mushroom pieces on top and enjoy!
