Mushroom & Steak Bruschetta is an easy to make appetizer that’s perfect for everything from date night to your next cookout!
Bruschetta is one of my go-to appetizer options in the summer. It’s so easy to make and the flavor combinations are endless! I make it for birthday parties, cookouts, BBQs (more on this soon!), date night, and girl’s night with my friends. I put together a 3 to 4 options and we make a meal of the bruschetta. It’s great! And there’s nothing better I love with my bruschetta than a great glass of wine.
Long before I was old enough to drink, I’ve been seeing the Maison Louis Jadot Wine label. My mom would keep a bottle of beaujolais on the counter and the label just always looked interesting to me. It wasn’t the same as the other wines she would buy. Maybe that’s why the Jadot wines have always been one my trusted wine brands. I know when I grab a bottle, the wine is going to be good. It doesn’t hurt that Jadot is the #1 brand of French wine in the US and has a reputation of being one of the most revered wine houses in Burgundy. What can I say, I like good wines.
We like to have friends over during the week and small get togethers on the weekend. There’s always food involved and I’m all about keeping it easy. Last weekend we had a few people over, I grabbed some Louis Jadot and we made a night of it!
I picked out the Beaujolais-Villages and Marcon-Villages Chardonnay this time and I’m so glad I did! The Beaujolais has a delicious dark fruit flavor that pairs beautifully with the earthy mushrooms and steak. The tannins cut through the meat for a combination you don’t want to pass up. It’s savory and succulent all at once. I’m getting hungry just thinking about it!
For the Chardonnay, I went a little out of my normal pairing box. I’m a pretty hardcore sauvignon blanc girl. I like the mineral, dry, tartness with fruit flavors. While I do enjoy a good chardonnay, they’re usually very buttery and I like something brighter. That is not the case with this chardonnay. If I had to draw a line and put all the white wine varietals on it, I’d definitely put this chardonnay on the pinot grigio/sauv blanc end of the spectrum. This chardonnay is well balanced and may just be one of my new favorite wines. I ever got my mom a bottle for her birthday, we have the same taste in white wine, and she loved it! Score one for Louis Jadot! Since this wine it nice a light with a little acid I paired it with a refreshing watermelon & avocado bruschetta. It was fantastic!
These bruschetta recipe are sure to be a hit at your next party! They’re so easy to make and let you spend time with your friends being the host or hostess you want to be instead of hiding in the kitchen all night.
