A Note from Feedfeed
Montasio PDO is a table cheese typical of the Friuli Venezia Giulia region and the north-east of the Veneto region. This semi-hard cheese is characterized by a compact texture with a white or pale yellow color and regular eyes. The initially smooth, flexible and compact light brown rind progressively dries as ageing proceeds, with the cheese becoming granular and friable as it ripens. Find more info here.

Method
Step 1
Preheat Oven to 400°F.

While the oven preheats, heat olive oil over medium high heat in a large nonstick skillet. Once hot, add olive oil, chopped mushrooms, thyme and salt to taste. Cook until golden brown, about 6 minutes.
Step 3
Place sliced bread on a parchment lined baking tray. Top with a slice of Montasio PDO cheese large enough to cover the surface of the crostini slice and bake until the cheese is melted, about 3 minutes.
Step 4
Spoon 1 tablespoon of prepared mushrooms over the melted cheese crostini and top with finely shaved Piave PDO cheese. Serve immediately.
