Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons clarified butter or frying oil
  • 1 medium/large onion
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 2 teaspoons Herbes de Provence or Italian seasoning
  • 1 lb button mushrooms 450g
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 large baguette
  • 3 tablespoons soft butter
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese 150g
  • ketchup to serve
  • chopped parsley to serve

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C), no fan.
  • Dice the onion, finely chop garlic, cut the mushrooms into 1/4-inch (7mm) slices.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of clarified butter or frying oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the onion, cook for about 5 minutes until soft and translucent. Add the garlic and herbs, cook for 30 seconds. Transfer to a plate.
  • Cook the mushrooms in two batches: increase the heat to high and add another tablespoon of clarified butter/oil. Add the mushrooms in a single layer, don't stir for the first 1-2 minutes letting the mushrooms brown, then cook, stirring, for a couple of minutes until the excess water from mushrooms is evaporated and the mushrooms are browned. Repeat with the remaining mushrooms.
  • Add the onions back to the pan. Stir everything together and season with salt and pepper.
  • Cut the baguette in half and spread it with butter - this step is optional, it will taste better with more butter (obviously) but if you'd like to cut back on calories you can omit this.
  • Top the baguettes with mushrooms and onions.
  • Top with shredded cheese.
  • Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the edges of the baguette are browned and the cheese is melted.
  • Drizzle generously with ketchup and sprinkle with chopped parsley.
  • Enjoy!
