Tap a step to highlight it, or turn on Cook Mode for large type and step-by-step focus.

  1. Wipe the mushrooms and mix the oil, vinegar, garlic and thyme. Brush the mushrooms with it and leave for 10 minutes.

  2. Heat the grill to medium-high. Grill the mushrooms gills-up for 7 minutes, then turn and grill for 8 minutes more.

  3. Lay a slice of cheddar on each for the last minute.

  4. Toast the buns and fill with rocket, tomato and a mushroom.

Small Things That Help

  • Wipe the mushrooms rather than washing them.
  • Start gills-up.
  • If your grill runs hot, check at 10 minutes.
  • Salt after cooking if you can.

Common Substitutions & Variations

  • An eighth of a teaspoon of garlic powder per clove is the usual stand-in when you are out of fresh garlic — it will not caramelise the same way, but it carries the flavour.

Serving Suggestions

  • Sweet potato fries
  • Coleslaw
  • Green salad
  • Pickled gherkins
