Recipe: Easy mushroom dinner

Step 1: Come home hungry after gossiping with your mother for the last hour on the phone.

Step 2: Dig out two or three large swiss mushrooms from the vegetable cooler, bought at the Prahran Market on the weekend.

Step 3: Unwrap the left-over brie from your trip to the country the other weekend.

Step 4: Slice up brie and put onto upturned mushrooms.

Step 5: Wish you had more cheese.

Step 6: Discover some Mersey Valley cheddar, and add this to the brie.

Step 7: Realise that if you're going to do this properly, you should get your boyfriend's camera out and put your iPhone away.

Step 8: Microwave on high for 1 minute.

Step 9: Vow to ignore any reader comments that point out any similarities between two swiss mushrooms and a pair of breasts with large nipples. Also wish that the superior camera resulted in similarly superior food photographs.

Step 10: Shred some prosciutto and lay over the melted cheese.

Step 11: Slide under the grill, and leave for 4 - 5 minutes or until prosciutto is warmed through.

Step 12: Slice up some crusty bread, and spread with good quality, lightly salted butter.

Step 13: Remove mushrooms from oven and serve on top of bread slice.

Step 14: Relish every last mouthful, ideally with some red wine while watching an episode of Glee.
