Stuffed mushrooms

Method

• step 1

  Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Wipe the mushrooms to remove any dirt, then turn upside down and remove the stalks. Place on a baking tray top-side down.

• step 2

  Fry the lardons for 8-10 mins until just starting to crisp up, then finely chop the shallot, mushroom stalks and garlic. Add to the bacon and fry on a moderate heat for about 5 mins until all the ingredients are cooked.

• step 3

  Take off the heat and add the breadcrumbs and sage, then stir to make an even mixture. Spoon into the hollows of the mushrooms and sprinkle with the grated cheese.

• step 4

  Bake for approximately 8-10 mins until the cheese has melted. Serve with crusty bread and a green salad.
