Directions
Step 1Place a flat baking sheet in the oven and preheat to 200°C (180°C fan) mark 6. Heat a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat, add mushrooms and some seasoning and dry-fry for 3-4min, until tender and golden. Set half aside on a plate.

Slide on to the hot baking sheet and cook for 10-12min until base is crisp. Drizzle with a little extra truffle oil, if you like, and serve.
