Cheese and Garlic Mushrooms

Cheese and Garlic Mushrooms is such an easy recipe to follow and the results are perfect. These are perfect mouthfuls as a starter or as a side dish. These go so well with steak and gammon. The recipe calls for a dish or tray, however, try using a muffin or mini cake tray if they fit as they will hold the mushrooms upright. Also, using the grill instead of the oven works with equal success.

• Transfer the mushroom and garlic mixture into a bowl and put to one side to completely cool.
