Devilled Mushrooms On Toast Food

DEVILLED MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200C/Gas 6/fan oven 180C. In a large bowl, mix together the mustard, oil, Worcestershire sauce and garlic, then season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.

• Divide the salad leaves between four serving plates. Put two mushrooms on each plate and spoon over the juices. Serve straight away, with French or crusty bread.
