Wild Mushroom and Goat Cheese Toasts

Coarsely chop mushrooms. In a large sauté pan over medium heat, heat olive oil and butter. Add the garlic and shallots and sauté for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently. Raise the heat slightly and add the mushrooms. Sauté for 7-8 minutes. Add merlot, chicken stock, thyme and basil and cook until liquid is evaporated. Season to taste with red pepper flakes and salt.

Preheat broiler. Put slices of baguette on a broiler pan and spread evenly with goat cheese. Spoon mushroom mixture evenly onto baguette slices. Broil for 3-4 minutes or until mushrooms just begin to brown on top. Remove from the oven and place on serving dish. Garnish with a sprinkling of lemon zest and chive mixture.
