Why this works

A rich, energy-dense toast melt with a good protein hit, but high in saturated fat and moderate in sodium.

Calcium and protein from cheese. The cheese contributes protein and calcium, which support muscle maintenance and bone health.

B vitamins and selenium from mushrooms. Mixed mushrooms provide B vitamins and selenium, which are useful for energy metabolism and antioxidant defence.

Higher saturated fat content. Cream, butter and cheese make this dish relatively high in saturated fat, so it is best enjoyed occasionally if you are watching heart health.

Method

Melt the butter in a frying pan over a medium heat.
Add the onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Add the mixed mushrooms and cook until browned and any liquid has evaporated.
Pour in the cream and stir through the cheese until melted.
Serve spooned over toasted bread if available.
