• Instead of Cheddar you can use a few different types of cheese such as Edam, Gouda, Monterey Jack or Cantal

• I make these Baked Mushrooms with Cheese and Garlic in small batches and use them most of the time as a side dish.

• If you require more or want to use this as a main dish, simply double or triple each of the quantities.

• They are best served warm, although, if need be, you can reheat them in the oven for a few minutes, ideally on the same day.

• You can add, on top of the cheese, bits of bacon/vegan bacon for an extra bit of flavour.
