Fry mushrooms and onions in olive oil until the onions are golden brown. Then, with a slotted spoon, remove the fried mushrooms and onions from the pan, and in the same oil quickly fry the baguette slices on both sides – it is important not to fry the bread, but only slightly heat and brown the edge.
Then put on the warmed bread: a slice of tomato, on top – a lettuce leaf, on it – fried mushrooms, and to finish – grated cheese; And so – for each slice of baguette.
Preheat the oven to 220 degrees. Put the toast with mushrooms on a baking sheet. We put in the oven, lowering the temperature to 180 degrees, for 10 minutes (until the cheese turns into an appetizing crust).
