🛒 Ingredients

Tap ingredients to tick them off as you shop or cook ✔️

• 1 baguette, halved lengthways
• 250g mushrooms, sliced
• 1 onion, chopped
• 150g grated cheese
• butter
• ketchup
• chives

👩‍🍳 Method

1. Fry the onion and mushrooms in butter until all the water has cooked off and they start to brown, 10 min. Wet mushrooms make a soggy zapiekanka.
2. Season well.
3. Hollow the baguette halves very slightly so the filling sits in rather than on.
4. Spread the mushrooms over, then bury under grated cheese.
5. Grill or bake at 200°C for 8 min until the cheese is bubbling and the bread edges are crisp.
6. Ketchup in a zigzag down the middle. This is not optional garnish — it is how it is served, from a hatch, at night.
