Expert Tips

• Choose the right mushrooms – Button, cremini, or shiitake mushrooms work best for their texture and flavor.

• Use fresh bread – Sourdough, ciabatta, or whole wheat bread give the best crunch and hold the filling well.

• Adjust spice level – Reduce or increase chili flakes and curry paste to suit your taste.

• For extra crispiness – Brush the outer bread with butter or olive oil before grilling.

• Make it vegan – Swap mozzarella with dairy-free cheese and use vegan bread.
