1. Wipe the mushrooms and trim the stalks. Melt the butter with the oil in a frying pan and fry the base of the mushrooms, on the Boiling Plate, until just browned, about 2 minutes.

2. Place on a shallow baking tray, lined with Bake-O-Glide.

3. For the topping; melt the butter in the frying pan and sauté the leeks on the Simmering Plate until soft but still retaining their colour, place in a basin.

4. Add the breadcrumbs, red pepper and season.

5. Mix well together and divide the mixture between the mushrooms, sprinkle over the grated cheese. Place the cherry tomatoes, brushed with a little oil, onto the baking tray
