  • 4 shallots finely chopped
  • 100 g walnuts
  • 3 thyme sprigs, leaves only
  • 50 g fresh white breadcrumbs
  • 125 g soft goat's cheese
  • pinch salt and pepper to taste
  • spray oil

Instructions

  10. Crumble in the goat's cheese on top of the mushrooms. Season with a little more salt and pepper and give a final spritz of oil.
