Method
Preheat the grill to high and toast the muffin halves until golden. Leave the grill on. Mix the tomato purée and pesto and spread over the cut sides of the muffins.
Heat the oil in a frying pan and cook the mushrooms, onion and courgette for 4-5 minutes until softened and golden.
Season, then divide the vegetables between the two muffin halves, scatter over the ham or salami and top with the grated cheese. Place under the grill and cook for 4 minutes or until bubbling.
Cut each muffin half in half again, and serve on two plates with the lettuce and mustard and cress tossed in vinaigrette.
