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.
