This is one of favorite Saturday afternoon snacks that I enjoy with a cup of tea or some times a sneaky can of Stella!
What you need
2 slices of white bread (Ramsey Bakery Mighty White)
4 good slices of Isle of Man Creameries Black Pepper Mature Chedder
Knob of butter
1 tsp oregano
½ cup sliced Greeba Farm Manx mushrooms
A toastie maker/George Foreman grill
What to do
In a pan, put a knob of butter and heat on the hob. Place the mushrooms and oregano in the pan and gently cook for 2-3 minutes until the mushrooms are lightly cooked and soft. Set aside.
Lightly butter the two slices of bread. Place one of the bread slices butter side down and line with slices of the cheese. With a spoon place the mushrooms on top of the cheese, finally adding the other slice of bread, butter side facing out.
Toast for 5 minutes in a toastie maker or George Forman Grill or until golden brown and cheese has melted. Serve warm with a side salad of leaves and cuppa if you want to push the boat out!
Gourmet Shark Tip: If you don’t have a toastie machine you could fry the toastie gently on each side in a frying pan.

Hi Gourmet Chef…
Was feeling a little hungry the other night and decided to have a go at your manx mushroom & pepper cheese toastie, what a recipe and what a snack.
The only problem I had with it was that my fridge did not contain any stella

For a Lager Connoissuer that’s a bit dissapointing, glad you enjoyed the snack, there will be plenty more where that came from! Its Gourmet Shark by the way, I don’t claim to be a chef. Thanks for the comment.

I have tried something similar during my last visit to Panama. They call it “derretido de queso con hongos” but actually their mushrooms are champignons. Besides of it, their cheese is not spicy, so the taste is rather mild. I will try to find that Manx Chedder here in Bogota, and prepare such a delight being thousands miles away the Isle of Man. Pax!
