Duxelles (dook-SEHL) is a mixture of finely chopped mushrooms cooked to the consistency of a pâté. This version uses shiitakes and creminis, but you can use any combination of mushrooms.

The mushroom flavor is great, but I actually found the rest of the duxelles to be bland - needed more garlic and herbs and salt. Loved the consistency though, and like another rater's suggestion to simply serve with crackers instead of toasting the baguette.

I made just the duxelles and served w/toast points and crackers. Delicious!! Changed nothing. It makes a lot though, I think next time I would 1/2 the recipe or try and freeze half of it. Leftovers were great too!
