Garlic Mushroom Toastie

1. Begin by heating the oil in a medium fry pan over medium heat. Once heated, add the mushrooms, garlic and salt and pepper to taste. Sauté until mushrooms are brown and have reduced in size, about 8-10 minutes.
2. Heat a sandwich press or if one is unavailable, heat a fry pan over medium heat.
3. Spread one side of the sliced bread, with half of the Nuttelex. Place it spread side down on the hot sandwich press or fry pan. Top with the sautéed garlic mushrooms and grated cheese. Spread one side of the other slice of sourdough with the rest of the Nuttelex. Place the bread on top of the garlic mushrooms, with the spread side facing up.
4. Lower the lid of the sandwich press and leave to cook until golden. If using a fry pan, carefully flip the sandwich once the bottom side is golden and toast the other side.
5. Serve hot.
