PHILLY CHEESESTEAK-STUFFED MUSHROOMS
SERVES 6 as a starter or light meal HANDS-ON TIME 15 mins TOTAL TIME 45 mins
Only £1.38 PER SERVING
◆ 2 tbsp rapeseed oil
◆ 1 red onion, finely sliced
◆ 1 green pepper, finely sliced
◆ 1 red pepper, finely sliced
◆ 3 garlic cloves, 2 crushed, 1 left whole
◆ 4 sprigs rosemary, chopped
◆ 250g beef mince (12% fat)
◆ 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
◆ 6 large flat mushrooms, stalks removed
◆ 6 tbsp burger sauce (we used Heinz Saucy Mayo)
◆ 100g red Leicester cheese, grated
◆ 125g mozzarella, grated (drained weight)
◆ 30g butter, softened
◆ 6 slices sourdough (we used Taste the Difference Sliced White Sourdough)
◆ 100g baby spinach
1 Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large frying pan and fry the onion and peppers for 8-10 minutes, or until soft. Add the crushed garlic and chopped rosemary and continue to cook for a further couple of minutes. Add the beef mince and break up with a spoon. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes, until the beef has cooked through. Stir through the balsamic vinegar and season well.
2 Preheat the oven to 200°C, fan 180°C, gas 6. Put the mushrooms on a lined baking tray, stalk-side up, and brush with the remaining oil. Divide the beef mixture among the mushrooms then top each with 1 tablespoon of burger sauce. Mix the two cheeses together and scatter over the top of each mushroom; cover and chill for up to 24 hours if prepping ahead.
3 Bake for 25 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and is golden brown (add 5-10 minutes extra if cooking from chilled).
4 Meanwhile, melt the butter in a large frying pan and fry the bread on both sides until golden. Wilt the spinach in the microwave and season. To serve, top each piece of bread with some of the spinach, followed by a cheesy mushroom.
