Directions:

  1. Place the porcini mushrooms in a bowl of hot water; press to submerge.
  2. Let stand until the mushrooms are tender, about 15 minutes.
  3. Scoop out mushrooms, being carefully not to stir any dirt that may have sunk to the bottom of the water.
  4. Discard mushroom water.
  5. Combine the porcini mushrooms, button mushrooms, walnuts, garlic, and parsley in a food processor and pulse until coarsely chopped.

  7. Transfer the mushroom mixture to a medium bowl.
  8. Stir in the Parmesan.
  9. Season the pesto with salt and pepper, to taste.
  10. If not using mushroom pesto right away, cover tightly with plastic wrap to prevent possible discoloration of mushrooms.
  11. Preheat a grill pan to medium-high heat.
  12. Arrange the bread slices on pan, cut-side down.
  13. Brush the remaining 1/4 cup of oil over the bread slices.
