How you make them:
Toast the bread and cut off the crust. Cut each slice of toast into 4 pieces, or the size of your mushrooms.
Cut off the hard bits of mushroom storks, and clean and dry the mushrooms on kitchen paper.
Add oil to an oven tray or a frying pan or rub the mushrooms with oil if you are planning on grilling them on the barbecue.
Bake the mushrooms in the middle of the oven at 200 degrees Celsius, or on the barbeque or frying pan on medium-high heat.
The mushrooms are done when they have released their moisture and are soft.
Add the mushrooms to a plate, and top them with caramelised onion marmalade, freshly ground white pepper and sprigs of thyme.
Serve directly piping, with a cocktail, a glass of wine or champagne.
