HOW TO MAKE IT

1. Light your fire and let it burn down for 1 hour until you have nice coals or use hardwood charcoal.

2. Drizzle a little olive oil over the bread slices, then add to a large cast-iron frying pan and cook until lightly charred on both sides.

3. Meanwhile, place the mushrooms in a small frying pan, add the thyme, a good pinch of salt and a splash of olive oil and cook for 5 minutes or until tender. Transfer to a bowl and drizzle over a little more olive oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

4. Arrange the mushrooms on the charred bread. Top with cheese and serve.

Enjoy with a glass of Cape Mentelle Cabernet Sauvignon.
