Ingredients

3 tablespoon salted butter, divided
6 cremini mushrooms (approx. 75g), thinly sliced
A sprig of fresh thyme
Flaky sea salt and freshly ground pepper
2 slices country-style (sourdough is good here) bread
60g cheddar cheese, thinly sliced

Method

1. Heat the butter in a small pan over medium-high heat.
2. When the butter is melted, add the mushrooms and thyme and cook until the mushrooms have released their juices and are golden brown. Season with a pinch of salt and a good grind of black pepper.
3. Use the remaining butter to butter the slices of bread and heat a heavy oven-ready skillet (preferably one with a ribbed base to make “griddle marks” on the bread) over medium-high heat.
4. Heat the broiler to 375˚F. and place the slices of bread butter-side down and cook until they are just starting to turn golden.
5. Place half cheese slices on one slice of bread and top with the mushrooms.
6. Place the rest of the cheese on the other slice of bread and cook for a minute or so until the buttered side of the bread is golden brown.
7. Place the skillet under the broiler until the cheese is completely melted.
8. Remove from the oven and top the mushroom toast with the other slice of bread.
9. Slice and serve.
