Remove the frying pan from the heat. Place the pastry round cheese side down over the mushrooms, tucking the pastry under the mushrooms

Tips & Hints:

Serves 4 as main or 6 as starter. If you don't have a frying pan that is also ovenproof, cook step 1 in a frying pan then transfer the mixture to the base of a well-greased 22cm (base) cake pan and continue with steps 3-5.
