Notes on Ingredients

Garlic: minced fresh garlic cloves for the best flavor.
Mushrooms: this recipe uses button mushrooms (you can use white or brown mushrooms, cremini mushrooms or shiitake mushrooms if desired).
Olive oil: for richness and flavor, to sauté the mushrooms.
Seasoning: including freshly ground black pepper, dried rosemary and chives. This enhances the flavor of the mushroom mixture.
Milk: you can use semi-skimmed/2% or whole milk.
Cheddar cheese: this recipe uses shredded/grated cheese (you can use a box grater to shred cheese). The cheese enhances the flavor of these garlicky mushrooms for the best taste. Garlic with cheese are a classic pairing to bring amazing flavor to these mushrooms.
Ground almonds/almond flour (optional but recommended): I recommend adding ground almonds/almond flour to thicken the mushroom mixture and add a subtle nutty flavor. This is a great way to enhance the taste of the mixture whilst adding nutrients too!
Naan or flatbreads: you can use homemade naan, whole wheat naan or store-bought naan bread/store-bought flatbread for this recipe.

Note: this recipe does not use salt as the cheddar cheese provides saltiness (you can add a pinch of salt if desired).

How to make Cheesy Garlic Mushrooms

Dry roast mushrooms in large/medium non-stick pan/large skillet on medium-high heat for 5 minutes. You will notice the mushrooms releasing moisture and becoming softer and golden brown.
Add oil, garlic and sauté mushrooms for 40 seconds.
Add seasoning. Add the rosemary, chives and freshly ground black pepper and cook for another 20 seconds.
Add milk, cheese and almond flour/ground almonds. Pour in the milk and mix with mushrooms. Add in the shredded/grated cheese and mix to coat evenly. Cook on medium heat for 2-3 minutes, allowing the mushroom mixture to thicken and become creamy. Add almond flour and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until thickened and creamy. Remove from heat.

Spread mixture across surface of naan/flatbread. Using a spoon, spread a single layer of mushrooms on top of the flatbreads/naan. Serve fresh and enjoy!

Top Tips

Use fresh naan – for the best results use freshly made naan – which is soft and thin.
Slice mushrooms and roast before adding oil and garlic – roasting mushrooms releases moisture for the best flavor.
Use fresh garlic – I prefer using fresh cloves of garlic (compared with garlic powder) for the best flavor. The garlic flavor complements mushrooms and cheese in this recipe.
Cook mushroom mixture - adjust cooking time depending on size of your burner hob. Cook mushrooms until they thicken and become creamy.

Cheese: you can also garnish with other kinds of cheese including mozzarella cheese (for extra indulgance).
