Method

  1. Wipe the mushrooms and trim the stalks. Melt the butter with the oil in a frying pan and fry the base of the mushrooms, on the boiling plate, until just browned, about 2 minutes then place on a shallow baking tray, lined with Bake-O-Glide.
  2. For the topping; melt the butter in the frying pan and sauté the leeks on the simmering plate until soft but still retaining their colour, place in a basin. Add the breadcrumbs, red pepper and season.
  3. Mix well together and divide the mixture between the mushrooms, sprinkle over the grated cheese. Place the cherry tomatoes, brushed with a little oil, onto the baking tray
  4. Slide the baking tray onto the second set of runners down in the roasting oven and cook for about 15 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through.

Conventional cooking: Cook off the mushrooms and leeks on the hotplate. Bake at 220°C / 425°F / 200°C Fan Oven / Gas Mark 7 for about 15 minutes until golden brown.
