Steps

  1. Step 1:

    Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Bake the baguettes on a baking tray for 8–10 minutes, then leave to cool.

    8–10 min
  2. Step 2:

    Heat 2 tsp of the butter and 1 tsp of the oil in a pan over a low heat. Cook the chopped onion for 5 minutes until soft.

    5 min
  3. Step 3:

    Stir in the mushrooms, increase the heat to medium, and cook for 5–10 minutes until the vegetables are soft and the mushroom liquid has evaporated.

    5–10 min

    Stir in the garlic and cook for 1–2 minutes until soft. Season, stir in the mayonnaise, and remove from the heat.

    1–2 min

    Halve the baguettes lengthways and return them to the baking tray, cut-side up. Spread over the mushroom mixture and sprinkle with the cheddar, ham, kabanos and mozzarella.

    Bake for 8–10 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and turned golden.
