Bacon, Mushroom & Soft Cheese Toastie

This bacon, mushroom and soft cheese toastie is quick comfort food: crisp bread, smoky bacon, and mushrooms cooked until the pan is dry and golden.

Spread with soft cheese and toasted until the centre is properly melty. Ideal for lunch or a no-fuss supper.

Cook the bacon in a pan (or under the grill) until crisp, then set aside.
In the same pan, cook the mushrooms until their moisture has evaporated and they’re golden. Stir in the garlic for 30 seconds and season with pepper (and a little salt if needed).
Spread soft cheese over one side of each slice of bread.
Divide bacon and mushrooms between two slices, then top with the remaining bread to make sandwiches.
Butter the outside of the bread. Cook over medium heat, pressing lightly, until deeply golden on both sides and the filling is hot and melty.
Serve immediately.

Cheese swap: cream cheese or Boursin works beautifully. Add a small handful of grated cheddar if you want it extra gooey.

Keep it crisp: cook the mushrooms until their moisture is gone before you build the toastie.

Heat: a pinch of chilli flakes is great with the mushrooms.
