Field Mushroom and Cheddar Omelet Canapés

• 3 eggs, beaten
• Salt and pepper to taste

• 4 tablespoons butter, divided
• 5 ounces field mushrooms, such as black trumpet, shitake, oyster, or chanterelles, diced
• 3 whole stems Italian parsley, chopped

• 1 clove of garlic, diced
• 1 baguette, sliced into 1/4-inch-thick slices
• Olive oil as needed

• 1/2 cup aged cheddar, shredded

Season the eggs with salt and pepper. Melt 2 tablespoon of the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the eggs and sprinkle with the mushrooms, parsley, and garlic. Cook until the eggs are set around the edges, about 2 minutes. Flip and cook for 30 more seconds. Remove the omelet from the pan and cool.

Preheat the broiler. Brush the baguette slices with olive oil and place on a baking sheet. Broil until golden, about 1 1/2 minutes on each side. Remove and let cool.

When the omelet has cooled, cut into slices large enough to cover a slice of baguette. Spread the remaining butter on the toasted baguette slices. Top each slice with a piece of omelet. Sprinkle with cheese. If desired, toast in a hot oven to melt the cheese.
