The perfect egg bites with mushrooms
Serious Eats / J. Kenji López-Alt
If you were in Italy you’d call this bruschetta di funghi. In the English-speaking world it’s just old mushrooms on toast. So why do I call it the Spanish tapas de setas? I think it has to do with simplicity and the reliance on really really good olive oil two hallmarks of great tapas.
Although the word has come to encompass a wide range of small Spanish dishes and bar snacks it originally referred to slices of bread with simple toppings. In order to attract customers Spanish sherry bars would try to outdo each other to lure customers through their doors. Although the food has taken on a life of its own these days – in most cases overshadowed by or at least shoulder to shoulder with the drinks – there are still many parts of Spain where tapas bars serve only one or two carefully prepared house specialties.
