Method

  1. Put the mushrooms in a lightly oiled ovenproof dish and drizzle the pesto over. Tear the cheese into pieces and divide between the mushrooms. Sprinkle the pine nuts over and grill under a low heat for 8-10 minutes until the cheese is bubbling and melted.
  2. Meanwhile, lightly toast the ciabatta bread. Serve a mushroom on each slice of bread.
