Come on, who doesn't love a good shroom?

Large flat mushrooms, stuffed with chargrilled peppers, tomatoes, spring onion and a little garlic.

Topped with a mix of Cheddar and Double Gloucester cheeses although you can, of course, use whatever cheese you prefer. Delicious and gluten-free.

If you're vegetarian there are a lot of vegetarian cheeses available so you can still make these and be in cheese heaven!

Nutritional benefits of eating mushrooms

You can't go wrong with mushrooms! They're fat-free, low-sodium, low-calorie, and cholesterol-free. They're also packed with fibre, vitamins, and minerals.

It's just the cheese in this recipe that's not so good, but hey ho!!

Cover the baking tray with foil and put it into the oven to cook for 15 minutes. Remove the foil and back in for a further 5 minutes.

By this time they should be piping hot and the cheese melted. Remove from the oven, and sprinkle over the parsley.
