Mushroom cheese bake

Description: Can be served as a canapé, finger food for parties, snack or an izakaya-style dish. Just a bit of twist (or what you may call a ‘left-over recipe’) can make mushrooms much nicer than just simply grilled mushrooms in the oven.

Nutritional Tips

Not only do mushrooms contain almost no fat, sugar or salt but are also a valuable source of dietary fibre, vitamins B1, B2, B3, B6 and Folate. Mushrooms also contain minerals such as potassium, phosphorus and iron, and have a water content of more than 90 per cent.

Vitamin B is a water-soluble vitamin and there are many different types all of which play important roles in our bodies. Vitamin Bs function as coenzymes during the g metabolism of fat and carbohydrates within the cell.

For example, Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin) cannot be stored in the body, so we need to take it from our diet daily. If deficiency occurs, cheilosis, magenta tongue or anaemia (secondary iron deficiency) can be seen. Riboflavin is also used as a food colour (E101) due to its yellow-orange colour. Good sources of riboflavin are milk, meat, fish, liver and fortified breakfast cereals. Riboflavin is unstable under ultraviolet light, it is therefore important to keep these foods out of direct sunlight.
