Introduction

This is a proper maincourse for vegetarians and extremely simple to prepare - takes 10 minutes, do it in advance, stick it in the fridge. Great for dinner parties where there's one vegetarian who's hungry - because we do get hungry! I once paid a lot of money for this in a restaurant.

Ingredients

Serves: 1

1 sheet puff pastry (or a packet, ready made)
portobello mushrooms (or other huge mushrooms - one per person)
1 packet boursin cheese (a large pack or mini singles)

Cut a quarter of 250g pack puff pastry (or half a sheet) roll out into a square of around 18cm

Place a single large mushroom upside down in the centre (washed, dried with stalk cut at base)

Place a large teaspoon or mini square of garlic cheese on top of underside of mushroom, in centre

Gather up the corners of the pastry and squeeze them together over the mushroom so it's covered like a bundle.

Bake for 35 - 40 mins at 180 degrees - medium oven - the mushroom will steam nicely inside.
