How to Make Mushroom Mountain

  1. Preheat oven to 220°C (450°F). Rinse and pat dry 500g large button mushrooms. Remove stalks and place mushrooms upside down on a baking tray or ovenproof dish.
  2. Season mushrooms with salt and pepper. Dot each mushroom cap with softened butter (approx. 1/2 tbsp total). Bake for 10-15 minutes until slightly softened.
  3. While mushrooms are baking, fry 100g diced bacon and 1 medium finely chopped onion in a pan until the bacon is crispy and the onion is translucent.
  4. Stir in 200g cottage cheese into the bacon and onion mixture. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  5. Spread a small amount of butter on each of the 4 slices of buttered toast. Place a baked mushroom cap, gills up, on each slice of toast.
  6. Mound the bacon and cottage cheese mixture generously into each mushroom cap.
  7. Sprinkle 50g of grated cheddar cheese over each mushroom filling. Dust lightly with a pinch of cayenne pepper or paprika.
  8. Place the tray under a preheated grill until the cheese is golden brown and bubbly (approximately 3-5 minutes).
  9. Serve immediately, optionally with a side salad.
